The Sam Song Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

WellAm I have been a Provo now forG 15 years or more

WithAm armalites andC mortorbombs IE though I knew the score

ButAm now we have a weapon we've never used before

TheC Brits are looking worried and theirE going to worryAm more

Chorus

Tiocfaidh ArG La,sing Up theAm Ra

CSam missilesEm in theAm 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
