Joe Mcdonnell chords

[VERSE 1]
O me [G] namex is Joe McDonnell, from [C] Belfastx town I [G] camex
That [C] cityx I will [G] neverx see agai[D]nxx
For [G] inx the town of Belfast I spent [C] xxx many happy [G] daysx
I [C] lovex that town in [G] ohx so many [D] waysx
For it's [Am] therex I [C] spentx my [Am] childhoodx and [C] foundx for me a [G] wifex
I [Am] thenx set out to [C] makex for [G] herx a li[D]fex
But [G] allx my young ambitions met with [C] bitternessx and [G] hatex
I soon [C] foundx myself [G] insidex a prison [D] gatex

[CHORUS]

And you da[Am]rexx ca[C]llx me a te[Am]rroristx while yo[C]uxx look down your gu[G]nxx
When I th[Am]inkx of all the de[C]edsx that yo[G]uxx have do[D]nex
You had pl[G]underedx many nations divided many lands
You had te[C]rrorisedx their pe[Am]oplesx you ruled wi[C]thx an iron ha[D]ndx
And you br[G]oughtx this reign of te[C]rrorx to my la[D]ndx

Through those ma[G]nyx months internment In the M[C]aidstonex and the Maz[G]exx
I thou[C]ghtx about my la[G]ndx throughout those da[D]ysx
Why my coun[G]tryx was divided, why [C] Ixx was now in ja[G]ilx
Impri[C]sonedx without cri[G]mex or without [D] trialx
And th[Am]oughx I l[C]ovex my cou[Am]ntryx I am n[C]otx a bitter m[G]anx
I've seen cr[Am]ueltyx and inj[C]usticex at f[G]irstx h[D]andx
So then one fa[Am]tefulx mo[C]rningx I s[Am]hookx bold fr[C]eedom'sx h[G]andx
For right [C] xxx or wrong I'd [G] xxx try to free my [D] landx

[CHORUS]
And you da[Am]rexx ca[C]llx me a te[Am]rroristx while yo[C]uxx look down your gu[G]nxx
When I th[Am]inkx of all the de[C]edsx that yo[G]uxx have do[D]nex
You had pl[G]underedx many nations divided many lands
You had te[C]rrorisedx their pe[Am]oplesx you ruled wi[C]thx an iron ha[D]ndx
And you br[G]oughtx this reign of te[C]rrorx to my la[D]ndx

Then one c[G]oldx October morning tra[C]ppedx in a lion's [G] denx
I fou[C]ndx myself in pr[G]isonx once agai[D]nxx
I was com[G]mittedx to the H-blocks for fou[C]rteenx years or m[G]orex
Oh the Bl[C]ankestx the con[G]ditionsx they were po[D]orx
Then a hu[Am]ngerx str[C]ikex we [Am] didx commence f[C]orx the dignity of [G] manx
But it se[Am]emedx to me that [C] nox one ga[G]vex a dam[D]nxx
But n[G]ow,x I'm a saddened man I've watc[C]hedx my comrades [G] xxx die
If on[C]lyx people car[G]edx or wondered w[D]hyx

[CHORUS]

And you da[Am]rexx ca[C]llx me a te[Am]rroristx while yo[C]uxx look down your gu[G]nxx
When I th[Am]inkx of all the de[C]edsx that yo[G]uxx have do[D]nex
You had pl[G]underedx many nations divided many lands
You had te[C]rrorisedx their pe[Am]oplesx you ruled wi[C]thx an iron ha[D]ndx
And you br[G]oughtx this reign of te[C]rrorx to my la[D]ndx

May God sh[G]inex on you Bobby Sands for the co[C]uragex you have sh[G]ownx
May your g[C]loryx and your f[G]amex be widely [D] knownx
And Fr[G]ancisx Hughes and R[C]ayx McCreesh who d[G]iedx unselfishly
And Pa[C]tsyx O Hara and the n[G]extx in line is [D] mex
And t[Am]hosex who l[C]iex beh[Am]indx me may you're c[C]ouragex be the s[G]amex
And I p[Am]rayx to God my l[C]ifex is [G] notx in v[D]ainx
Ah but s[G]adx and bitter was the y[C]earx of 19[G]81x
For [C] everythingx I've l[G]ostx and nothing's wo[D]nxx
