Rock On Rockall chords by The Wolfe Tones

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

C majorC
Oh the Empire it is finished
    C majorC
No foreign lands to seize
    FF       C majorC
So the greedy eye of England
   C majorC         G+G
Is stirring towards the seas
   C majorC         A minorAm
Two hundred miles from Donegal
      C majorC
There's a place that's called Rockall
     FF         C majorC
And the groping hands of Whitehall
   G+G        C majorC
Are grabbing at it's walls

Chorus:
  C majorC              A minorAm
Oh rock on Rockall you'll never fall
  C majorC
For Britains greedy hands
     FF        C majorC
Oh you'll meet the same resistance
     C majorC      G+G
Like you did in many lands
     C majorC              A minorAm
May the Seagulls rise and pluck your eyes
     C majorC
And the water crush your shell
     FF        C majorC
And the natural gas will burn your ass
   G+G        C majorC
And blow you all to hell

    C majorC
This rock is part of Ireland
     C majorC
For it's written in folklore
    FF         C majorC
When Finn McCool took a sod of grass
   C majorC       G+G
He threw it to the fore
     C majorC             A minorAm
When he tossed a pebble across the sea
   C majorC
Where ever did it fall
    FF        C majorC
For the sod became the Isle of Man
     G+G        C majorC
Now the pebble's called Rockall


Chorus:

    C majorC
Oh the seas will not be silent
    C majorC
While Britannia grabs the waves
    FF        C majorC
And remember that the Irish
     C majorC       G+G
Will no longer be your slaves
    C majorC          A minorAm
And remember that Britannia well
   C majorC
She rules the waves no more
  FF          C majorC
So keep your hands off Rockall
   G+G       C majorC
It's Irish to the core
