Some Of The Verses Where An F Chord Shows Up.
[Verse 1]
C
There was tension in the air
Em
as she left that night
Am F
for a story or a sound About It
C G
even wild horses
F
Could not have stopped her leavin
[Verse 2]
C
With their hoods and masks and their
Em
hidden faces
Am F
Their petrol bombs and bricks they waded
C G
As the convoy made its way along the foil
F
Up to the creggan
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C
The stage was set above the derry walls
Am C
Time for action the commander called
F
Up there
G
Where dissidence are not for leavin
[Verse 3]
C Em
Oh the nile was black as the riots began
Am F
Crowds gathered and children ran
C
A bullet cracked
G
And lyra fell
F
Where she was standin
[Chorus]
C
In the right place
Em
At the wrooong time
Am F
Out lookin for a storyline
C
Till they silenced her
G
That night
