Chords with lyrics
E minorEm G+G
On Belfast streets I've heard it said,
E minorEm G+G
They're shooting all our children dead,
C. G+G
Taking lives hardly begun,
D MajorD E minorEm
With plastic bullets in their guns.
Chorus
G+G D MajorD DmDm
We won't be kept down easily,
DmDm E minorEm G+G
We will not be still,
E minorEm D MajorD
We won't be kept down easily,
A minorAm DmDm E minorEm
After all you maimed and killed.
E minorEm G+G
Young Carol Ann, just 12 years of age,
E minorEm G+G
Shot down by Brits in bloody rage,
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Wee Julie Livingstone as well,
D MajorD E minorEm
Fell victim to their, plastic hell.
Chorus
E minorEm G+G
They try to make us toe their line,
E minorEm G+G
By using every type of crime,
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
But, freedom won't be terrorised,
D MajorD E minorEm
Nor freedom's struggle, criminalised
Chorus
E minorEm G+G
They tried to drag us from our streets,
E minorEm G+G
By taking lives so young and sweet,
E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Do they not know, we'll not be beat,
D MajorD E minorEm
And that violence is their own defeat.
Chorus
