Through the little streets of 
Belfast
C               G
in the dark of early morn
C                 F
British soldiers came marauding
C               G           C
wrecking little homes with scorn
C                 F
hear the sobs of crying children
C                 G
dragging fathers from their beds
C                  F
watch the scene as helpless mothers
C                    G          
watch the blood fall from their 
C
heads

C                 Am
Armored cars and tanks and guns
G             C
came to take away our sons!
