  C          Am          F       
Oh I.R.A. and U.V.F. this song is
         C
 just for you
                     Am            
As you sit down at the table now to
F                G
 see what you can do
  F                   G           
At last you’ve come together after
C                 F
 all the tears and time
    C              G             
It’s sad you didn’t do it back in
F        G     C
 Nineteen Sixty Nine

  C          Am          F       
History calls you savages but I 
         C
know that isn’t true
         Am            F       
For we grew up together and I am 
         G
part of you
  F                   G       
We all had dreams and hopes and 
    C                 F
fears and someone else to blame
    C              G         
It took so long to realize our 
    F        G     C
dreams were all the same

[Chorus]
   C         F                 C
You know our dreams were all the 
same
   F              C
But who would dare proclaim
      F             G
In the anger and the pain
   F           G       C
Our dreams were all the same

[Verse 2]
  C          Am          F       
We felt the taste of hunger when 
         C
they factory went away
                     Am          
And then they closed the hospital 
  F                G
they said it didn’t pay
  F                   G           
And as the rich got richer and 
C                 F
kept promising the sky
    C             G             F
All we got were promises and 
   G       C
colored flags to fly

  C          Am          F       
I remember well your little girl 
         C
she had ribbons in her hair
                            Am     
When she came to play that Summer’s
       F                G
 day with the children in the square
  F                   G           
To think they could be here today 
C                 F
still laughing and alive
    C              G             
If strong men had been wise men 
F        G     C
in Nineteen Seventy Nine

[Chorus]
   C         F                 C
You know our dreams were all the 
same
   F              C
But who would dare proclaim
      F             G
In the anger and the pain
   F           G       C
Our dreams were all the same

[Verse 3]
  C          Am          F       
It was always all or nothing 
         C
there was nothing in between
             Am            F      
Compromise was treachery that’s 
          G
the way it seemed
  F                   G           
And now we’re left with nothing 
C                 F
but a future we must find
    C              G             
And count the cost of the chances
F        G     C
 lost in Nineteen Eighty Nine

  C          Am          F       
Oh I.R.A. and U.V.F. this song is
         C
 just for you
                Am            F   
As you sit down at the table now 
             G
to see what you can do
  F                   G           
At last you’ve come together after
C                 F
 all the tears and time
    C              G             
It’s sad you didn’t do it back in
F        G     C
 Nineteen Ninety Nine

[Chorus]
   C         F                 C
You know our dreams were all the 
same
   F              C
But who would dare proclaim
      F             G
In the anger and the pain
   F           G       C
Our dreams were all the same
