	D
There were	six men in Birmingham

	G	D
In	Guildford there's	four

	D
	That were picked up and tortured

	G	A
And	framed by the	law

	D
And the	filth got promotion

	G
But they're still doing	time

	D
For being	Irish in the wrong place

	G	A
And	at the wrong	time

	D	G	D
In	Ireland they'll put you a	way in the	Maze

	D	G	A
	In England they'll keep you for	several long	days

	D	G
God	help you if ever you're caught on these	shores

	D	G	A
The	coppers need someone and they	walk through that	door

	D
You'll be	counting years

	G
First	five then ten

	A7	D
	Growing old in a	lonely hell

	D	G
	Round the yard and the	stinking cell

	A	D
From	wall to wall and	back again

A curse on the judges, the coppers and screws

Who tortured the innocent wrongly accused

For the price of promotion

And justice to sell

May the judged be the judges

When they rot down in hell

You'll be counting years

First five then ten

Growing old in a lonely hell

Round the yard and the lousy cell

From wall to wall and back again

Break:

May the whores of the empire lie awake in their beds

And sweat as they count out their sins in their heads

While over in Ireland eight more men lie dead

Kicked down and shot in the back of the head

You'll be counting years

First five then ten

Growing old in a freezing hell

Round the yard and the lousy cell

From wall to wall and back again

Counting years

First five then ten

Growing old in a lonely hell

Round the yard and the lousy cell

From wall to wall and back again
