No capo required. Although I like to play it on the 5th. Just move it to wherever suits your voice.
Chorus: x2
C Armoured cars and Am tanks and guns, G came to take C away our sons, C
but every man must F stand behind, the C men G behind the C wire.
Verse 1:
In Cthe littleF streets of Belfast,Cin the dark of G early morn;
C British solders F came a running,C wrecking little G homes with C scorn.
Hear C the sobs of F crying children,C dragging fathers G from their beds;
C watch the scene as F helpless mothers,C watch the blood G fall from their C heads.
CHORUS x2
Verse 2: Same pattern C,F,C,G - C,F,C,G,C (Repeat)
Not for them a judge or jury,nor for them a crime at all;
Being Irish means they're guilty,so we're guilty one and all.
Around the world the truth will echo, Cromwell's men are here again;
England's name again is sullied, in the eyes of honest men.
CHORUS x2
Verse 3: Same pattern C,F,C,G - C,F,C,G,C (Repeat)
Proudly march behind our banner, proudly march behind our men;
we will have them free to help us,build a nation once again.
All the people step together, proudly firmly on our way;
never fear or never falter till the boys come home to stay.
CHORUS x2
