[Intro]
Dm F C G
 
[Verse]
       C                           F              C
Oh, me name is Joe McDonnell, from Belfast town I came,
  F           C          G
A city I will never see again.
    C                               F          C
For in the town of Belfast, I spent many happy days,
      F                 C          G
And I love that town in oh so many ways.
         Dm      F        C    F        Dm        F    C
For it's there I spent my childhood and found for me a wife,
  Dm       F      C              G
I then set out to make for her a life.
    C                                F              C
But all my young ambitions, met with bitterness and hate,
       F              C             G
I soon found myself inside a prison gate.
 
[Chorus]
        Dm      F         C    F          Dm       F         C
And you dare to call me a terrorist while you look down your gun,
       Dm       F       C                   G
When I think of all the deeds that you have done.
        C                         C7
You had plundered many nations, divided many lands.
        F                                              G
You had terrorized our peoples, you ruled with an iron hand,
        C                                   G
And you brought this reign of terror, to my land.
 
[Verse]
              C                               F                 C
Through those many months’ internment, in the Maidstone and the Maze,
  F                C                     G
I thought about my land throughout those days.
       C                        F            C
Why my country was divided, why I was now in jail,
  F                C                G
Imprisoned without crime or without trial.
    Dm       F       C   F         Dm    F      C
And though I love my country, I am not a bitter man,
          Dm            C                G
I've seen cruelty and injustice at first hand.
   C                            F                    C
So then one faithful morning, I shook bold freedom's hand,
    F                   C                G
For right or wrong, I'd tried to free my land.
 
[Chorus]
        Dm      F         C    F          Dm       F         C
And you dare to call me a terrorist while you look down your gun,
       Dm       F       C                   G
When I think of all the deeds that you have done.
        C                         C7
You had plundered many nations, divided many lands.
        F                                              G
You had terrorized our peoples, you ruled with an iron hand,
        C                                   G
And you brought this reign of terror, to my land.
 
[Verse]
         C                               F           C
Then one cold October’s morning, trapped in a lion's den,
  F               C            G
I found myself in prison once again.
        C                            F           C
I was committed to the H-Blocks, for 14 years or more,
        F               C                  G
And the blanket, the conditions, they were poor.
       Dm     F         C     F               Dm   F     C
Then a hunger strike we did commence, for the dignity of man,
       Dm        F       C             G
But it seemed to me that no one gave a damn.
    C                          F                   C
But now I am a saddened man, I watched my comrades die,
   F           C                 G
If only people cared or wondered why.
 
[Chorus]
        Dm      F         C    F          Dm       F         C
And you dare to call me a terrorist while you look down your gun,
       Dm       F       C                   G
When I think of all the deeds that you have done.
        C                         C7
You had plundered many nations, divided many lands.
        F                                              G
You had terrorized our peoples, you ruled with an iron hand,
        C                                   G
And you brought this reign of terror, to my land.
 
[Verse]
    C                                     F                C
May God shine on you Bobby Sands, for the courage you have shown,
         F              C              G
May your glory and your fame be widely known.
    C                                    F             C
And Francis Hughes and Ray McCreesh, who died unselfishly,
    F                    C               G
And Patsy O’Hara and the next in line is me.
    Dm        F     C    F            Dm      F      C
And those who lie behind me, may your courage be the same,
      Dm      F      C              G
And I pray to God my life is not in vain.
       C                              F  C
Ah but sad and bitter was the year of 1981,
    F               C                  G
For everything I've lost and nothing's won.
