[Intro]
A E A
[Verse 1]
A D
There’s a place in dear old Ireland in the county of red and white
A E
Where the Irish men and women there they never give up the fight
A D
Where the only army allowed there are the ones they call the RA
A E A
And if you haven’t guessed it yet it’s the village of Cappagh
[Chorus]
A D
So come on Maggie Thatcher, enough of your old lies
A E
Admit to the killings of the men that we despise
A D
We want no made-up stories, the truth we want to know
A E A
How they were blew away by the IRA in Cappagh in Tyrone
[Post-Chorus]
A E A
[Verse 2]
A D
When the volunteers prepared themselves for the ambush they had laid
A E
The Brits bring nothing but sadness here, and it’s time that they had paid
A D
So when the SAS arrived, drove past without no haste
A E A
Till an XR3 pulled up alongside and put them in their place
[Chorus]
A D
So come on Maggie Thatcher, enough of your old lies
A E
Admit to the killings of the men that we despise
A D
We want no made-up stories, the truth we want to know
A E A
How they were blew away by the IRA in Cappagh in Tyrone
[Post-Chorus]
A E A
[Verse 3]
A D
Now England, admit to it and forget about your pride
A E
We saw them two soldiers there lying side by side
A D
We hope you learn from your mistakes to leave us all alone
A E A
And get your dogs to pack their bags and send them all back home
[Chorus]
A D
So come on Maggie Thatcher, enough of your old lies
A E
Admit to the killings of the men that we despise
A D
We want no made-up stories, the truth we want to know
A E A
How they were blew away by the IRA in Cappagh in Tyrone
