Intro
G A D
[Verso 1]
D A D D7
Here's a a song of young lives lost before their time
G A D
Of four daring lads cut down in their prime
G A D Bm
In a land that longs for freedom and for peace
G A D D7
It's a prayer that all the heartache soon will cease
[Verso 2]
G A D D7
Sometimes it's hard to find the words to say
G A D D7
When the cut's so deep the pain won't go away
G A D Bm
How much longer must we struggle, mourn, and pray?
G A D
'Till we see the light of freedom's dawning day
[Verso 3]
D A D D7
In their boyhood years these lads learned at first hand
G A D
They were only second class in their own land
G A D Bm
Stopped and searched by police each time they walked the street
G A D D7
And degraded by each foot patrol they'd meet
[Verso 4]
G A D D7
To those RUC 'n soldiers it was fun
G A D D7
To intimidate our children with their guns
G A D Bm
But there's some young folk who won't take any more
G A D
And there's some who'll want to even up the score
[Verso 5]
D A D D7
Barry O'Donnell was a thorn in England's side
G A D
And he led his volunteers with dauntless pride
G A D Bm
Sean O'Farrell stood beside him all the while
G A D D7
And we never will forget his roguish smile
[Verso 6]
G A D D7
Countless times in action these pair played their part
G A D D7
That they couldn't hold them broke the soldier's hearts
G A D Bm
But those lads knew they lived on borrowed time
G A D
But they'd make their mark before they crossed the line
[Verso 7]
D A D D7
In Coalisland Square that February night
G A D
Oh the sentries in the barracks all took fright
G A D Bm
For on the lorry coming straight ahead
G A D D7
Was a unit of the East Tyrone Brigade
[Verso 8]
G A D D7
From that lorry's back the Irish flag flew high
G A D D7
And the big machine gun pointed to the sky
G A D Bm
And when Barry with that gun began to shoot
G A D
Oh! Those Brits there longed for transfers to Beirut
[Verso 9]
D A D D7
As the tracer bullets split the barrack wall
G A D
Those bold volunteers they showed no fear at all
G A D Bm
As the lorry drove away the people cheered
G A D D7
Not knowing that their cries would soon be tears
G A D D7
It was the boldest deed that little town had known
G A D D7
In all the years of struggle in Tyrone
G A D Bm
But it was the saddest night that town would come to know
G A D
For the SAS lay waiting at Clonoe
D A D D7
Was not until they had the big gun down
G A D
And the volunteers thought they were safe and sound
G A D Bm
That the SAS they opened up from every side
G A D D7
And on that killing ground four brave lads died
G A D D7
We lost bold Peter Clancy on that night
G A D D7
A volunteer who scorned Britannia's might
G A D Bm
Young Paddy Vincent died there by his side
G A D
He lost his life for what he thought was right
D A D D7
We salute you Barry, Peter, Paddy, Sean
G A D
Though you've left us still your memory will live on
G A D Bm
For to the crown, a knee you'd never bend
G A D D7
And you were bold and fearless to the end
G A D D7
So come all of you who love your native land
G A D D7
As for peace and freedom we march hand in hand
G A D Bm
Our brave volunteers have not been lost in vain
G A D
From the ashes we can build our land again
D A D D7
Here's a a song of young lives lost before their time
G A D
Of four daring lads cut down in their prime
G A D Bm
In a land that longs for freedom and for peace
G A D D7
It's a prayer that all the heartache soon will cease
