Unfinished Revolution Lyrics And Chords

written by  Peter Cadle. Here is another for all you die hard Christy Moore fans.
[G} From the health centre {C} porch she looks to the {G}North 

Where {Am} Nicaragua's enemies {D}hide 
{G} Polio crippled and {C} maimed before things were {G} changed 
{Am} Slowly they're turning the {C} tide 
{Em} In the twilight she stands, with a rifle in hand 
{G} And a memory of what {C} used to be 
{G} Now she's {C}part of the un{D}finished re{C}volut{G}ion
 
Feudal landlords they've known seen overthrown 
Afghanistan comes into view 
Learning to read and to write is part of the fight 
But for her it's something that's new 
Down all of the years ashamed of her tears 
Imprisoned behind a black veil 
Now she's part of the unfinished revolution
 
Soldiers kicked down the door, called her a whore 
While he lingered in Castlereagh 
Internment tore them apart, brought her to the heart 
of resistance in Belfast today 
Her struggle is long, it's hard to be strong 
She's determined deep down inside 
To be part of the unfinished revolution. 

Hebrews 10:19-22
