Braid (G)Farrell, Sean (D)Savage
and (G)Daniel Mc(Em)Cann -Em

All (G)Ireland shares
their (D)sorrow –D7
As they (G)walked in sun the (C)Brits drew their (G)guns -G
And their (C)blood stained the

The (G)SAS (D)stood there, so (G)proud of their (Em)deed

did (Em)meet -Em
Our (C)three far a(D)way in Gi(G)braltar –D7

(G)Braid while in (D)prison we (G)watched you with (Em)pride

It (G)happens each
(D)time that a (G)volunteer (Em)dies

The (C)Brits planned there (D)deaths on Gi(G)braltar. –D7
