D G Give Ireland back to the Irish D A Don't make them have to take it away D G Give Ireland back to the Irish D A D Make Ireland Irish todayVerse 1:
D Em Great Britain you are tremendous G D And nobody knows like me Em But really what are you doin' G D In the land across the sea Bm E Tell me how would you like it G D If on your way to work Bm E You were stopped by Irish soliders G Would you lie down do nothing A Would you give in, or go berserkD G Give Ireland back to the Irish D A Don't make them have to take it away D G Give Ireland back to the Irish D A D Make Ireland Irish todayVerse 2:
D Em Great Britain and all the people G D Say that all people must be free Em Meanwhile back in Ireland G D There's a man who looks like me Bm E And he dreams of God and country G D And he's feeling really bad Bm E And he's sitting in a prison G Should he lie down do nothing A Should give in or go madD G Give Ireland back to the Irish D A Don't make them have to take it away D G Give Ireland back to the Irish D A D Make Ireland Irish today D G Give Ireland back to the Irish D A Don't make them have to take it away D G Give Ireland back to the Irish D A D Make Ireland Irish today
