I re(D)member the day when (G)I turned 10
Our (A)men in the H-block was (D)starving again
The (A)struggle for freedom in (G)Ireland had crossed a new line -G-G-G-G
Two (D)hundred and seventeen (G)days passed by,
10 Young (A)brave men starved, (D)I'll tell ye why..
Co(A)lonial Britain had (G)labelled our cause a crime. -G-G-G-G
I (D)know this is now and (G)that was then
But the (A)same situation is (D)looming again
As (A)British intransigence (G)drags us back through the slime -G-G-G-G
How (D)long will we let the (G)brits dictate
(A)What is a crime in this (D)illegal state
As they've (A)raped, murdered and (G)pillaged their way through time -G-G
