Hughes lives on Lyrics
[G]In Derry´s [D]hills they [G]mourn a son
Brave an [D]Irish [G]soldier´s gone
That fairly kind still bonds [Em]on
For [G]Hughes lives on for[D]eve[G]r
(Refrain)
[G]Freedom´s dawn has come at last
[D]Judgement for injustice past
Your [G]tyranny it´s dying [Em]fast
While [G]Hughes lives on for[D]eve[G]r
[G]A guardian from the hills and dales
Ty[D]rone and Derry loved him well
And [G]tortured in an H- Block [Em]cell
[G]Hughes lives on for[D]eve[G]r
The [G]spurge of [D]Ireland´s [G]enemies
The [D]SAS and RUC
And [G]conquered still your spirits [Em]free
For [G]Hughes lives on for[D]eve[G]r
[G]Francis Hughes you´re with us yet
Your [D]moral we shall not forget
They [G]feared you then they fear you [Em]yet
For [G]Hughes lives on for[D]eve[G]r
Brave an [D]Irish [G]soldier´s gone
That fairly kind still bonds [Em]on
For [G]Hughes lives on for[D]eve[G]r
(Refrain)
[G]Freedom´s dawn has come at last
[D]Judgement for injustice past
Your [G]tyranny it´s dying [Em]fast
While [G]Hughes lives on for[D]eve[G]r
[G]A guardian from the hills and dales
Ty[D]rone and Derry loved him well
And [G]tortured in an H- Block [Em]cell
[G]Hughes lives on for[D]eve[G]r
The [G]spurge of [D]Ireland´s [G]enemies
The [D]SAS and RUC
And [G]conquered still your spirits [Em]free
For [G]Hughes lives on for[D]eve[G]r
[G]Francis Hughes you´re with us yet
Your [D]moral we shall not forget
They [G]feared you then they fear you [Em]yet
For [G]Hughes lives on for[D]eve[G]r
