Key:
C Oh the Empire it is finishedC No foreign lands to seizeF C So the greedy eye of EnglandC G Is stirring towards the seasC Am Two hundred miles from DonegalC There's a place that's called RockallF C And the groping hands of WhitehallG C Are grabbing at it's walls [Chorus]C Am Oh rock on Rockall you'll never fallC For Britains greedy handsF C Oh you'll meet the same resistanceContinues after the adC G Like you did in many landsC May the Seagulls rise and pluckAm your eyesC And the water crush your shellF C And the natural gas will burn your assG C And blow you all to hellC This rock is part of IrelandC For it's written in folkloreF C When Finn McCool took a sod of grassC G He threw it to the foreC When he tossed a pebble across theAm seaC Where ever did it fallF C For the sod became the Isle of ManG C Now the pebble's called Rockall [Chorus]C Oh the seas will not be silentC While Britannia grabs the wavesF C And remember that the IrishC G Will no longer be your slavesC Am And remember that Britannia wellC She rules the waves no moreF C So keep your hands off RockallG C It's Irish to the core
