This song was performed by the Irish Brigade, Pádraig Mór (Soirse & Shebeen) and possible other bands. For the Irish Brigade’s version use capo on 3rd fret.

Intro: C-F-F-C
 
Chorus:
So it’s (C)pull down the watchtowers you’re (Dm)going home at last
(F)Say farewell to Bel(C)laghy, Carrick(Dm)more and West (G)Belfast
With your (F)kit-bag on your (C)shoulder and a (Dm)tear all in your (Am)eye
Well (C)pardon me for (F)smiling while you’re (G)waving me good(C)bye
 
You (C)say you came to save us in the (Dm)year of sixty-nine
(F)But you stayed to stop the (C)‚orange state’ from (Dm)falling to de(G)cline
When it (F)came to Bloody (C)Sunday you showed the (Dm)world what you could (Am)do
Four(C)teen dead men on (F)Derry’s streets your true (G)colours they shone (C)through
 
Chorus
 
You (C)found you could not beat us after (Dm)thirty years of war
In (F)of all your (C)Choppers, foot-pa(Dm)trols and armoured (G)cars
We (F)never will sur(C)render or get (Dm)on our knees and (Am)beg
So go (C)crowling back to (F)England with your (G)trail between your (C)legs
 
Chorus
 
You (C)say you’re sad to leave us but (Dm)we have no regrets
You’ve (F)left behind a (C)legacy we (Dm)never will for(G)get
From (F)Dunloy to Drumna(C)killy you carved (Dm)out your bloody (Am)name
Your (C)hands are stepped in (F)Irish blood so (G)hang your heads in (C)shame
 
Chorus  twice
 
Well (C)pardon me for (F)smiling while you’re (G)waving me good(C)bye
