[Verse 1]
C
In nineteen hundred forty eight,
F C
the natives were expelled
F C
From the land of their ancestors,
F C
their homes and cities shelled
F C
From the traitors in Transjordan
F C
to clandestine British demand,
F C
by the settler Zionist army
G
that rampaged across the land
 
[Chorus]
F C
Oh Palestine, oh Palestine,
F C G
We hear your desperate plea
F C
That once again across the land
F C G
Your people can be free

Oh Palestine, oh Palestine
F C G
Your people live in fear
F C
We demand your emancipation

From the river to the sea
 
[Verse 2]

In nineteen sixty seven,
F C
Israel did invade
F C
To conquer and to colonize

What little had remained
F C
The people of old Palestine
F C
Once again their fates entwined
F C
With the Zionist occupation
G
Of their homes and weary minds

Oh Palestine, oh Palestine,

We hear your desperate plea

That once again across the land

[Verse 3]

In twenty twenty three,
F C
they've come a final time
F C
To destroy your homes and families
F C
With a murderous lethal design
F C
The bombs o'er head are falling
F C
As our leaders continue their lies
F C
The sky does glow and the blood it flows
G
As we hear the children's cries
 
[Chorus]
F C
Oh Palestine, oh Palestine,
F C G
We hear your desperate plea
F C
That once again across the land
F C G
Your people can be free

Oh Palestine, oh Palestine

Your people will be free
