[Verse 1]
Am G
Well I have been a Provo now for 15 years or more
Am C E
With armalites and mortorbombs I though I knew the score
Am
But now we have a weapon we've never used before
C E Am
The Brits are looking worried and their going to worry more
[Chorus]
G Am
Tiocfaidh Ar La,sing Up the Ra
C Em Am
Sam missiles in the sky
[Verse 2]
Am G
I started off with petrol bombs and throwing bricks and stones
Am C E
With a hundred more lads like me I never was alone
Am
But soon I learned that bricks and stones wont drive the Brits away
C E Am
It wasn't long before I joined the I.R.A.
[Chorus]
G Am
Tiocfaidh Ar La,sing Up the Ra
C Em Am
Sam missiles in the sky
[Verse 3]
Am G
Then there came internment in the year of '71
Am C E
The Brits thought we were beaten,that we were on the run
Am
On that early August morning they kicked in our door
C E Am
But for every man they took away,they missed a hundred more
[Chorus]
G Am
Tiocfaidh Ar La,sing Up the Ra
C Em Am
Sam missiles in the sky
[Verse 4]
Am G
I spent eight years in the cages,I had time to think and plan
Am C E
For though they locked away a boy,I walked away a man
Am
And there's only one thing I learned while in their cell I lay
C E Am
The Brits will never leave us,until there blown away
[Chorus]
G Am
Tiocfaidh Ar La,sing Up the Ra
C Em Am
Sam missiles in the sky
[Verse 5]
Am G
All through the days of hunger strike I watched my comrades die
Am C E
While in the streets of Belfast you hear the women cry
Am
I cant forget the massacre that Friday at Loughgall
C E Am
I salute my fallen comrades,as I watch the choppers fall
[Chorus]
G Am
Tiocfaidh Ar La,sing Up the Ra
C Em Am
