The Sinn Fein Train Song Lyrics And Guitar Chords
A song by The Irish Brigade about Sinn Fein and the Good Friday Agreement. The Agreement is made up of two inter-related documents, both agreed in Belfast on Good Friday, 10 April 1998.
Intro G, D, Bm, D, A, D
[D]It's the [G]Sinn Fein men on that [D]one[Bm] stop train
The [D]deal has been done the [A]story's told
There's [G]no turning back take a [D]look at the [Bm]track
Can't you [D]see it's Green White and Gold.
David [G]Trimble standing there with the con[D]ductor Tony [Bm]Blare
He [D]said please stop the train and I'll be[A] nice
But [G]David don't you mind if I was [D]you I'd look behind
Here comes wee [A]Jeff with a [D]knife.
It's the [G]Sinn Fein men on that [D]one stop [Bm]train
The [D]deal has been done the story's [A]told
There's [G]no turning back take a [D]look at the [Bm]track
Can't you [D]see it's Green White and Gold.
Ian Paisley that's your name and your welcome on this train
But it's a one way ticket you've been sold
And if you start to shout then we'll have to throw you out
And there's no discount for the old.
It's the Sinn Fein men on that one stop train
The deal has been done the story's told
There's no turning back take a look at the track
Can't you see it's Green White and Gold.
McCrea stood there with McCartney by his side
Their standing on the platform looking soar
You won't march where you want we won't listen to your taunts
It's not an Orange State anymore.
It's the Sinn Fein men on that one stop train
The deal has been done the story's told
There's no turning back take a look at the track
Can't you see it's Green White and Gold.
The whistle it has blown, in every house and every home
The Tri Colour's flying all around
The engin it is stoked, the union it is broke
And fares paid in Punts not in Pounds.
It's the Sinn Fein men on that one stop train
The deal has been done the story's told
There's no turning back take a look at the track
Can't you see it's Green White and Gold.
Not Tony's taking notes while Bertie's counting votes
Sinn Fein are on the rise again
And Trimble's blood will boil when the first stop is The Dáil
And five Sinn Fein T.D.'s board the train.
