[Intro]
D
[Verse]
D G Em
It was on a Sunday evening the sun shone in the sky
A G A D
As he walked his way to the Gaelic ground never thinking he was going to die
G Em
But as he crossed the checkpoint the sound of gunfire came
A G A D
As the news spread through the border town Aiden McAnespie was slain
[Chorus]
G A
Oh why did you do it?
D Bm
Have you not the guts to say
G A D A
You say it was an accident or even a ricochet
D G Em
But like Loughgall and Gibraltar your lies are well renowned
A G A D
You murdered Aiden McAnespie on his way to the Gaelic ground
[Verse]
D G Em
For years he was harassed by the forces of the crown
A G A D
As he went to work each mornin he left his native town
G Em
The soldiers swore they´d get him for reasons no one can say
A G A D
And sure enough they murdered him in cold blood that sunny day
[Chorus] ?2
D G Em
To say it was an accident was the greatest crime of all
A G A D
To his heart-broken family it was the worst that can befall
G Em
A cross it marks the lonely spot where Aiden he was shot down
A G A D
As he walked on that Sunday evening on his way to the Gaelic ground
[Solo]
(to the rhythm of the verses)
D G Em A G A D x2
[Chorus] ?2
D G Em
Aidens life had ended it was time for judgement day
A G A D
A soldier he jumped out from the tower and the coward he slipped away
G Em
God´s curse on you England for this cruel deed you have done
A G A D
But God will have his final say when your day of judgement comes
