Capo in 5.
C Am
Armored cars and tanks and guns
G C
came to take away our sons
F
but every man must stand behind
C G C
the men behind the wire
C F
Through the little streets of Belfast
C G
in the dark of early morn
C F
British soldiers came marauding
C G C
wrecking little homes with scorn
C F
hear the sobs of crying children
C G
dragging fathers from their beds
C F
watch the scene as helpless mothers
C G C
watch the blood fall from their heads
C Am
Armored cars and tanks and guns
G C
came to take away our sons!
F
but every man must stand behind
C G C
the men behind the wire
C F
Not for them no judge no jury,
C G
or indeed a crime at all
C F
being Irish means we're guilty
C G C
so we're guilty one and all
C F
round the world the truth will echo
C G
Cromwell's men are here again
C F
England´s name again is sullied
C G C
in the eyes of honest men
C Am
Armored cars and tanks and guns
G C
came to take away our sons!
F
but every man must stand behind
C G C
the men behind the wire
C F
Proudly march behind our banner
C G
firmly stand behind our men
C F
we will have them free to help us
C G C
build a nation once again
C F
all the people stand together
C G
proudly firmly on the way
C F
never fear, never falter
C G C
till the boys come home to stay
C Am
Armored cars and tanks and guns
G C
came to take away our sons!
F
but every man must stand behind
C G C
the men behind the wire
