[Verse 1]
C Am F
From the health centre porch she looks to the North
C G
Where Nicaragua’s enemies hide
C Am F
Polio crippled and maimed before things were changed
C G
Slowly they’re turning the tide
Am Em Am Em
In the twilight she stands, with a rifle in hand
F G
And a memory of what used to be
[Chorus]
C Am F C
Now she’s part of the unfinished revolution
[Verse 2]
C Am F
Feudal landlords they’ve known seen overthrown
C G
Afghanistan comes into view
C Am F
Learning to read and to write is part of the fight
C G
But for her it’s something that’s new
Am Em Am Em
Down all of the years ashamed of her tears
F G
Imprisoned behind a black veil
[Chorus]
C Am F C
Now she’s part of the unfinished revolution
[Verse 3]
C Am F
Soldiers kicked down the door, called her a whore
C G
While he lingered in Castlereagh
C Am F
Internment tore them apart, brought her to the heart
C G
of resistance in Belfast today
Am Em Am Em
Her struggle is long, it’s hard to be strong
F G
She’s determined deep down inside
[Chorus]
C Am F C
To be part of the unfinished revolution.
C Am F C
She holds the key to the unfinished revolution.
