[Verse 1]
C                      Am                     F
From the health centre porch she looks to the North

C                         G
Where Nicaragua’s enemies hide

C                  Am                        F
Polio crippled and maimed before things were changed

C                         G
Slowly they’re turning the tide

Am                  Em             Am       Em
In the twilight she stands, with a rifle in hand

      F                      G
And a memory of what used to be
[Chorus]
C         Am          F          C
Now she’s part of the unfinished revolution
[Verse 2]
C                        Am             F
Feudal landlords they’ve known seen overthrown

C                      G
Afghanistan comes into view

C                       Am                   F
Learning to read and to write is part of the fight

        C                         G
But for her it’s something that’s new

Am              Em      Am           Em
Down all of the years ashamed of her tears

F                         G
Imprisoned behind a black veil
[Chorus]
C         Am          F          C
Now she’s part of the unfinished revolution
[Verse 3]
C                        Am                 F
Soldiers kicked down the door, called her a whore

C                          G
While he lingered in Castlereagh

C                    Am                        F
Internment tore them apart, brought her to the heart

   C                     G
of resistance in Belfast today

Am              Em         Am         Em
Her struggle is long, it’s hard to be strong

F                          G
She’s determined deep down inside
[Chorus]
C     Am          F          C
To be part of the unfinished revolution.

C         Am             F          C
She holds the key to the unfinished revolution.
