      D                  Em
Great Britain you are tremendous
    G                 D
And nobody knows like me
                        Em
But really what are you doin’
   G                   D
In the land across the sea
        Bm            E
Tell me how would you like it
   G              D
If on your way to work
         Bm                E
You were stopped by Irish soliders
          G
Would you lie down do nothing
                            A
Would you give in, or go berserk

Great Britain and all the people
    G                       D
Say that all people must be free
                  Em
Meanwhile back in Ireland
          G                  D
There’s a man who looks like me
Bm                       E
And he dreams of God and country
         G              D
And he’s feeling really bad
Bm                    E
And he’s sitting in a prison
          G
Should he lie down do nothing
                     A
Should give in or go mad
