Pangur Ban — Death Before Revenge

Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

[Verse 1]
G
Call me what you will
C                    Am
And tell me what they say
D
For tomorrow brings a new wind
C                     G
And the rain has gone away
       G
For within these walls I see the sun
       C              Am
As it shines o'er the hills
D
Down between the valleys
C                    G
And amongst the daffodils

[Refrain]
C                      D        G       G/F# Em
But when this war is over and I see your face again
      G                                    D              G
Then I´ll tell you of the warriors who put death before revenge

[Verse 2]
    G                           C                  Am
Now here we starve in prison to support our fellow men
       D
Who've only have a woollen blanket
      C                 G
And a crucifix in their hand
       G
Bitter screws harass and give them hell
          C                   Am
but their spirits they cannot break
D
Hold you chins up, keep marching on
C                                      G
We don't think she'll not leave it too late

[Refrain]
C                    D          G        G/F#  Em
But when this war is over and I see your face again
      G                                    D              G
Then I´ll tell you of the warriors who put death before revenge

[Verse 3]
G                              C               Am
Bobby was the first to go with Francis close behind
    D
The people streamed onto the streets
   C                    G
To have faith was not a crime
    G
And faith is what those men had
          C                 Am
When they chose to join our fight
      D
Their actions were political
          C                   G
Can't the British see we were right?

[Refrain]
C                    D          G       G/F#  Em
But when this war is over and I see your face again
      G                                    D              G
Then I´ll tell you of the warriors who put death before revenge

[Verse 4]
    G                                   C          Am
The days rolled by and two more died, O´Hara and McCreesh
     D
Yet Thatcher chose to bite her lip
    C               G
The toil was not to cease
G
Still the barricades went up by day
       C                Am
And the bullets hung by night
         D
How much longer must we keep this path?
        C               G
There's still no end in sight

[Refrain]
C                    D          G        G/F#  Em
But when this war is over and I see your face again
      G                                    D              G
Then I´ll tell you of the warriors who put death before revenge

[Verse 5]
    G
It´s a dreadful thing that these men joined
    C                 Am
Our ranks of martyred brave
       D
That´s ten too many coffin nails
       C               G
Kicked coldly to their graves
    G
But if they only realised
     C                 Am
Then Thatcher, mark us well
         D
They are ten more determined reasons
       C                 G
For to break out of this hell

(Refrain)
C                    D          G        G/F#  Em
But when this war is over and I see your face again
      G                                    D              G
Then I´ll tell you of the warriors who put death before revenge

[Outro]
G                                   D
O´Hara, Hughes, McCreesh and Sands, Doherty and Lynch
  D                  C        G
McDonnell, Hurson, McElwee, Devine
