No Capo

Verse 1

        Em                             G
Oh They say it's no mean city and it's nowhere in between.
        D                            C
It's divided into 2 where one sides blue and one sides green.
Em                                 G
Around the age of eight, oh I was asked to pick a club.
        D                                C
It was around the time that I had first tasted my own blood.
Em                                  G
Broken, bruised and bloody called a fenian and a hun.
         D                                  C
I didn't understand what either meant cause I was only young.

Catholics and Protestants

"Royalists" and "Dissidents"
          D                               C
Since the early 15th century have been at odds to no amends.
Em                                                G
Such division spreads like wild fire through the schools and through the schemes.
          D                             C
Religious hatred dating centuries symbolised by football teams.




Chorus 1

D                    Em              C
Oh won't you let the colours fill my bones
And open up my soul

Oh won't you let the colours fill my eyes




Verse 3

        Em                                       G
Morons in orange play their flutes, with their red hands raised in the air.
        D                               C
Singing marching songs about a war in a place they've not been near.
Em                                     G
A green brigade of cowards, they burn poppies for all to see.
   D                                       C
In a scottish place of sport they scream IRA and fuck the queen.

D                    Em              C
Oh won't you let the colours fill my bones
And open up my soul
D                    Em              C
Oh won't you let the colours fill my eyes
Then maybe I can see
D                        Em
Why they fight, why they sing
                            C
Why they spread all of their hate
D                    Em              C
Oh won't you let the colours fill my bones

Verse 4

Em
No amount of media exploitation
G
No amount of government legislation
         D
We will never solve this problem

Thats spread in the ignorance of youth

Oh won't you let the colours fill my bones
And open up my soul
D                    Em              C
Oh won't you let the colours fill my eyes
Then maybe I can see
D                        Em
Why they fight, why they sing
                            C
Why they spread all of their hate
D                    Em              C
Oh won't you let the colours fill my bones
D                    Em              C
