Oh^C I.R.A. and^Am U.V.F. this^F song is just for^C you As you sit down at th^Ame table now to^F see what you can^G do At^F last you’ve come to^Ggether after^C all the tears and^F time It’s^C sad you didn’t^G do it back in^F Nineteen^G Sixty^C Nine

Hi^Cstory calls^Am you savages^F but I know that ^Cisn’t true For we gr^Amew up together^F and I am part of^G you We^F all had dreams and ^Ghopes and fe^Cars and someone el^Fse to blame It t^Cook so long to ^Grealize our dr^Feams were^G all t^Che same

[Chorus]

You^C know our ^Fdreams were all th^Ce same But^F who would dare^C proclaim In the^F anger and the^G pain Our^F dreams were^G all the^C same

[Instrumental] C F C G C G C C [Verse 2] C Am F C We felt the taste of hunger when they factory went away

And then they closed ^Amthe hospital t^Fhey said it didn’^Gt pay An^Fd as the rich got ri^Gcher and kep^Ct promising the sk^Fy All ^Cwe got were pr^Gomises and col^Fored^G flags t^Co fly

I ^Cremember we^Amll your litt^Fle girl she had r^Cibbons in her hair When she came to play that S^Amummer’s day wi^Fth the children i^Gn the square To^F think they could be^G here today ^Cstill laughing and^F alive If s^Ctrong men had b^Geen wise men i^Fn Ninetee^Gn Seve^Cnty Nine

[Chorus]

You^C know our ^Fdreams were all th^Ce same But^F who would dare^C proclaim In the^F anger and the^G pain Our^F dreams were^G all the^C same

[Verse 3] C Am F C It was always all or nothing there was nothing in between

Compromise wa^Ams treachery th^Fat’s the way it s^Geemed An^Fd now we’re left wit^Gh nothing bu^Ct a future we must^F find And ^Ccount the cost ^Gof the chances^F lost in ^GNinete^Cen Eighty Nine

As you sit down ^Amat the table n^Fow to see what yo^Gu can do At^F last you’ve come to^Ggether after^C all the tears and^F time It’s^C sad you didn’t^G do it back in^F Nineteen^G Ninet^Cy Nine

[Chorus]
