(C)Behind those English prison (F)walls
So (C)innocent and (F)tortured (Am)all They (C)call for justice (Am)and for peace and a (G)chance to live a(F)gain for (C)in their dark and lonely (F)cell There's no (C)justice, there's no (F)freedom (Am)bell For those (C)Irish men and (Am)women there in (C)prison (G)without (C)crime CHORUS So (G)free the people let them (C)go You can't (F)hold them any(C)more But remember too it could be (Am)me or (C)you Behind those (G)prison (C)walls By the laws of God it's surely wrong for they suffered now for far too long and with no evidence, no proof of what You say they're guilty of But to me it is a crime, a shame, How you treated them was all a game But the howling winds of justice will cry out to free their name CHORUS You (F)took away the sunshine and you (G)took away the rain You (F)stole away those youthful years they'll (C)never (G)see a(C)gain You (F)robbed them of their freedom And you (G)jailed them without a crime You de(F)nied them of, their liberty And you (C)stole a(G)way their (C)time You stole the precious gift of time, To me it is the greatest crime So you must free the Guilford Four You can't hold them any more Or like the six in Birmingham And the many others jailed and damned Release them now and let them go And justice will be done.

Gilford Four Lyrics
Behind those English prison walls So innocent and tortured all They call for justice and for peace and a chance to live again for in their dark and lonely cell There's no justice, there's no freedom bell For those Irish men and women there in prison without crime CHORUS So free the people let them go You can't hold them anymore But remember too it could be me or you Behind those prison walls By the laws of God it's surely wrong for they suffered now for far too long and with no evidence, no proof of what You say they're guilty of But to me it is a crime, a shame, How you treated them was all a game But the howling winds of justice will cry out to free their name CHORUS You took away the sunshine and you took away the rain You stole away those youthful years they'll never see again You robbed them of their freedom And you jailed them without a crime You de(F)nied them of, their liberty And you stole away their time You stole the precious gift of time, To me it is the greatest crime So you must free the Guilford Four You can't hold them any more Or like the six in Birmingham [ six lyrics ] And the many others jailed and damned Release them now and let them go And justice will be done |
