Wolfe Tones - Plastic Bullets lyrics

So you (Am)divided up my (G)land Six counties stayed in (C)England's (D)hand (G)So you take my (C)home But you (G)cannot take my (D)mind Then you (Am)tried to keep me (G)down With your tanks and guns in my (C)streets and (D)towns And you (G)shoot your plastic (C)bullets To (D)keep your plastic (G)state Chorus: In (G)Ireland's (D)troubled (G)land Each (C)decade (D)brings its (G)rebel (D)band And (G)forces (C)of the (G)crown They (D)try to bring them (D7)down But the (G)flowers will (D)bloom a(G)gain And the (C)people (D)they will (G)rise a(D)gain And (G)then you (C)shot him (G)down So (D)all the world could (G)see Does it matter how you k** You make the rules it is your will But let your plastic bullets To k** it's all the same Oh I could not believe my eyes You took those young lads by surprise The way you shot them down That day in Derry town Chorus Oh some justice we did seek A place for all to live in peace An island in the sea Where people could be free But you can not be proud The way you shot him to that ground A nightmare you shot them down That night in Belfast town Chorus Then shoot me, shoot me down Because I make my colours known And I heard the mercy cry Where people in fear do lie In anger then he ran With the banner stick all in his hand And then you shot him down And all the world could see Chorus The (G)day you (C)shot Séan (G)Dowd That (D)day in Belfast (G)town
