GIVE IRELAND BACK TO THE
IRISH 3/4 (Paul McCartney)
Chorus:
Give (D)Ireland back to the (G)Irish
Don't (D)make them have to take it a(A)way
Give (D)Ireland back to the (G)Irish
Make (D)Ireland (A7)Irish to(D)day
Great (D)Britain, you are tre(E)mendous
And (G)nobody knows like (D)me
But really what are you (E)doin'
In the (G)land across the (D)sea
Tell me how (Bm)would you (E)like it
If (G)on your way to (D)work
You were (Bm)stopped by Irish (E)soldiers
Would you (G)lie down, do nothing
Would you give in, go ber(A7)serk?
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental Part
Great (D)Britain, and all the (E)people
Say that (G)people must be (D)free
And meanwhile, back in (E)Ireland
There's a (G)man who looks like (D)me
And he (Bm)dreams of God and (E)country
And he's (G)feeling really (D)bad
And he's (Bm)sitting in a (G)prison
Say should he (G)lie down, do nothing
Should he give in, or go (A7)mad?
Repeat Chorus twice

Make (G)Ireland (D7)Irish to(G)day
Great (G)Britain, you are In(A)druders

So tell me what the hell are you (A)doin'
In this (C)land across the (G)sea
Tell me how (Em)would you (A)like it
If (C)on your way to (G)work
You were (Em)stopped by Irish (A)soldier boys
Would you (C)lie down, do nothing
Would you fight to free your (D7)land?

And we’re (C)feeling really (G)bad
When we’re (Em)lieing in our (A)prison cells
Should we (C)lie down, do nothing
Should we fight to free our (D7)land?
