Scale: G Major Time Signature: 4/4 Tempo: 117 INTRO G Em G D G G C G Read the roll of honour for Ireland's bravest men G Em A D We must be united in memory of the ten, G C G England you're a monster, I don't think that you have won G C Em G D G We will never be defeated while Ireland has such sons. G C G In those dreary H-Block cages ten brave young Irishmen lay G Em A D Hungering for justice as their young lives ebbed away, G C G For their rights as Irish soldiers and to free their native land G C G Em G D G They stood beside their leader - the gallant Bobby Sands. G C G Now they mourn Hughes in Bellaghy, Ray McCreesh in Armagh's hills G Em A D In those narrow streets of Derry they miss O'Hara still, G C G They so proudly gave their young lives to break Britannia's hold G C G Em G D G Their names will be remembered as history unfolds. [CHORUS] G C G Read the roll of honour for Ireland's bravest men G Em A D We must be united in memory of the ten, G C G England you're a monster, I don't think that you have won G C Em G D G We will never be defeated while Ireland has such sons. G C G Through the war torn streets of Ulster the black flags did sadly sway G Em A D To salute ten Irish martyrs the bravest of the brave, G C G Joe McDonnell, Martin Hurson, Kevin Lynch, Kieran Doherty C G Em G D G They gave their lives for freedom with Thomas McElwee. G C G Michael Devine from Derry you were the last to die G Em A D With your nine brave companions with the martyred dead you lie G C G Your souls cry out "Remember, our deaths were not in vain. G C G Em D G Fight on and make our homeland a nation once again !"
