Give I[D]reland back to the I[G]rish
Don't m[D]ake them have to take it aw[A]ay
Give Ir[D]eland back to the I[G]rish
Make I[D]reland I[A7]rish t[D]oday
Great B[D]ritain, you are trem[E]endous
And n[G]obody knows like m[D]e
But really what are you d[E]oin'
In the la[G]nd across the s[D]ea
Tell me[Bm] how would you l[E]ike it
If o[G]n your way to w[D]ork
You were s[Bm]topped by Irish s[E]oldiers
Would you l[G]ie down, do nothing
Would you give in, go bers[A7]erk
Give Ireland back to the Irish
Don't make them have to take it away
Give Ireland back to the Irish
Make Ireland Irish today

Great Britain, and all the people
Say that all people must be free
And meanwhile, back in Ireland
There's a man who looks like me

And he dreams of God and country
And he's feeling really bad
And he's sitting in a prison
Should he lie down, do nothing
Should he give in, or go mad


Give Ireland back to the Irish
Don't make them have to take it away
Give Ireland back to the Irish
Make Ireland Irish today

Give Ireland back to the Irish
Don't make them have to take it away
Give Ireland back to the Irish
Make Ireland Irish today


NOTE: "You can't stay out of it, you know, if you think at
all these days. We're still humans, you know, and you wake
up and you read your newspaper, it affects you. So I don't mind
too much, it doesn't worry me, like I say. I don't now plan to
do everything I do as a political thing, you know, but just
on this one occasion I think the British Government overstepped
their mark and showed themselves to be more of a sort of a
repressive regime than I ever believed them to be." (Paul
McCartney, 1972)
