Ballad Of Diarmuid Oneill Chords

(ver. 1)
Gary Og
[Intro]
Em D Dsus4
 
[Verse 1]
    Em                     D                 Em           D
The news came through last Tuesday night, to paralyse the truth
  Em              D       C           D      Em
A man lay dead in London, gunned down in his youth
  Em             D        Em                D
A bitter hail of stories, telling what went on
        Em             D                C     D       Em
But the blood upon the pavements told a story of it's own
 
[Chorus]
  Em              D           Em             D
A little house in Hammersmith invaded in the night
       Em               D                   C        D      Em
With a hundred in their death squads, to be sure and get it right
Em               D                   Em        D
Assembled in the darkness with their hatred un-concealed
   Em     D   C    D  Em
To murder Diarmuid O'Neill

[Verse 2]
    Em              D             Em                D
Now Major's calling up his men to praise a job well done
     E             D           C          D        Em
With special commendations for those that held the guns
Em             D           Em             D
Arrest a dozen Irishmen to help the story stick
    Em              D       C     D  Em
The coldness of you people, makes me sick
 
[Bridge]
    C             D/A            Em
For England, your crimes are not over
    C        D/A                Em
You will not have the blood you crave
         C     D/A       Em         G    G/F#     Em
You will never break our will, with your Shoot-To-Kill
        C            D/A              D/A
And our people, they will not be your slaves
 
xx0232 (D chord) -> xx2032 > xx4032 -> xx0232 (D chord)-> xx0234 (Bm)
 
[Chorus]
  Em              D           Em             D
A little house in Hammersmith invaded in the night
       Em               D                   C        D      Em
With a hundred in their death squads, to be sure and get it right
Em               D                   Em        D
Assembled in the darkness with their hatred un-concealed
   Em      D   C   D  Em     D D/F#
To murder Diarmuid O'Neill

[Verse 3]
      Em              D             Em              D
So be careful now you papermen, the British leaders say
    E                D             C    D   Em
You know that we can never hope to beat the IRA
      Em                D                        Em              D
So be careful while you write your lies, for our people must not see
     Em          D  C     D  Em
Just how we hold Ireland, un-free
 
[Chorus]
  Em              D           Em             D
A little house in Hammersmith invaded in the night
       Em               D                   C        D      Em
With a hundred in their death squads, to be sure and get it right
Em               D                   Em        D
Assembled in the darkness with their hatred un-concealed
   Em      D   C   D  Em     D D/F#
To murder Diarmuid O'Neill
