G D How many more must die now how many must we lose G C G D G Before the island people their own destiny can choose C G D From immortal Robert Emmet to Bobby Sands MP G C G D G Who was given thirty thousand votes while in captivity
[Verse 2]
G D No more he’ll hear the lark’s sweet song upon the Ulster air G C G D G Or gaze upon the snowflake pure to calm his deep despair C G D Before he went on hunger strike young Bobby did compose G C G D G The Rhythm of Time, The Weeping Wind and The Sleeping Rose
[Chorus]
C G D He was a poet and a soldier he died courageously G C G D G And we gave him thirty thousand votes while in captivity
[Verse 3]
G D Thomas Ashe gave everything in 1917 G C D G The Lord Mayor of Cork McSwiney died his freedom to obtain C G D Never a one of all our dead died more courageously G D G Than Bobby Sands from Twinbrook the people’s own MP
[Verse 4]
G D Forever we’ll remember him that man who died in vain G C G D G That his country north and south be united once again C G D To mourn him is to organise and build a movement strong G C G D G With ballot box and armalite with music and with song
[Chorus]
