The Sam Song

Eire Og

Text File

Yet another one of my favourite rebel songs, and another by �ire �g. The chord progression is the same through the whole song. Well[Am] I have been a Provo now for[G] 15 years or more With[Am] armalites and[C] mortorbombs I[E] though I knew the score But[Am] now we have a weapon we've never used before The[C] Brits are looking worried and their[E] going to worry[Am] more Chorus Tiocfaidh Ar[G] La,sing Up the[Am] Ra [C]Sam missiles[Em] in the[Am] sky Chorus I started off with petrol bombs and throwing bricks and stones With a hundred more lads like me I never was alone But soon I learned that bricks and stones wont drive the Brits away It wasn't long before I joined the I.R.A. Chorus Then there came internment in the year of '71 The Brits thought we were beaten,that we were on the run On that early August morning they kicked in our door But for every man they took away,they missed a hundred more Chorus I spent eight years in the cages,I had time to think and plan For though they locked away a boy,I walked away a man And there's only one thing I learned while in their cell I lay The Brits will never leave us,until there blown away Chorus All through the days of hunger strike I watched my comrades die While in the streets of Belfast you could hear the women cry I cant forget the massacre that Friday at Loughgall I salute my fallen comrades,as I watch the choppers fall
