The Wolfe Tones

Sunday Bloody Sunday

by The Wolfe Tones
The Wolfe Tones

Biography:

The Wolfe Tones is an Irish rebel music band that incorporates elements of Irish traditional music. Formed in 1963, their most recognizable line-up that lasted for nearly 37 years until January 2001 was brothers Brian Warfield and Derek Warfield, and Noel Nagle, and Tommy Byrne. The band take its name from the Irish rebel and patriot Theobald Wolfe Tone, one of the leaders of the Irish Rebellion of 1798, with the double entendre of a wolf tone – a spurious sound that can affect instruments of the violin family.

[Intro]
Dm Bb Gm Am (x2)

[Verse 1]
Dm
Well it was Sunday bloody Sunday
F
When they shot the people there
Dm
The crys of thirteen martyrs
Am
Filled the free Derry air.
Dm
Is there any one amongst you
F
Dare to blame it on the kids?
Dm
Not a soldier boy was bleeding

When they nailed the coffin lidds!

[Chorus] (x2)
F C
Sunday bloody Sunday
Bb Am
Bloody Sunday's the day!

[Verse 2]
Dm
You claim to be majority
F
Well you know that it's a lie
Dm
You're really a minority
Am
On this sweet emerald isle.
Dm
When Stormont bans our marchers
F
They've got a lot to learn
Dm
Internment is no answer

It's those mother's turn to burn!

[Chorus] (x2)
F C
Sunday bloody Sunday
Bb Am
Bloody Sunday's the day!

[Verse 3]
Dm
You anglo pigs and scotties
F
Sent to colonize the north
Dm
You wave your bloody Union Jack
Am
And you know what it's worth!
Dm
How dare you hold to ransom
F
A people proud and free
Dm
Keep Ireland for the irish

Put the english back to sea

[Chorus] (x2)
F C
Sunday bloody Sunday
Bb Am
Bloody Sunday's the day!

[Verse 4]
Dm
Yes it's always bloody Sunday
F
In the concentration camps
Dm
Keep Falls and free forever
Am
From the bloody english hands
Dm
Repatriate to britain
F
All of you who call it home
Dm
Leave Ireland to the irish

Not for London or for Rome

[Chorus] (x2)
F C
Sunday bloody Sunday
Bb Am
Bloody Sunday's the day!

[Outro]
F C Dm Bb Am
Dm Bb Gm Am
