More chords by Christy Moore


(G) C GCG

They call it the law, apartheid, internment, conscription, partition and silence

Em D

It's a law that they made to keep you and me, where they think we belong

C G CG

They hide behind steel and bulletproof glass, Machine guns and spies

Em D Dsus4D

And you tell us who'll suffer the tear gas and torture that we're doing wrong

C G

No time for love if they come in the morning

D G

No time to show tears over fears in the morning

C G

No time for goodbyes, no time to ask why

Bm C D G CG

And the sound of the siren the cry of the mourning

C G CG

They came for Sacko, Vanzetti, Connolly and Pearce in their time

Em D

They came for Newton and Seal, Bobby Sands and some of his friends

C C GC

In Boston, Chicago, Saigon, San Diego, Warsaw and Belfast

Em D Dsus4D

And places that never make headlines the list never ends

C G CG

The boys in blue are only a few of the everyday cops on their beat

Em D

The CID branchmen informers and spies do their job just as well

C G CG

And behind them the men who tap phones and load down computers and files

Em D Dsus4D

And the man that tells them when to come to take you to your cell

C G CG

So come on you people who give your brothers and sisters the will to live on

Em D

They say you can get used to this war but that doesn't mean that this war isn't on

C G CG

The fish need the sea to survive just like your comrades need you

Em D Dsus4D

And the death squads can only get through to them if first they can get through to you
