_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ Come all [Eb] of you fine people, wherever you may be, [Bb] I'll sing of a brave Belfast man,
_ _ _ [Eb] Who scorned the army's might, thought that he showed him [Eb] one sight, And they [F] shot [Eb] down Joe [Bb] McCann, Joe McCann, they shot down Joe McCann.
_ _ _ _ In a [Eb] Belfast bakery in the August of that year, When [Bb]
internment was imposed throughout the land, _ _ _
[Eb] Six volunteers from Belfast held six hundred troops at bay, Their [Bb] leader [Eb] was Joe [Bb] McCann, Joe McCann, their leader was Joe McCann. _ _ _
He fought for the people in the markets where he worked, In defence of the rights of man,
_ [Eb] But the hired branch crew told [Cm] the soldiers [Eb] what to do, And they [F] shot [Eb] down Joe [Bb] McCann, [Eb] Joe McCann, they shot down Joe _ [Bb] McCann.
_ _ [F] He carried [Eb] no gun, so he started to run, To [Bb] escape them as many as the time before,
_ One _ bullet brought him down, and as he lay on the ground, [F] They shot [Eb] him ten [Bb] times more, [Eb] ten times more, they shot him ten [Bb] times more.
_ [Bb] It's caused [Eb] with the freedom of the people of this land, [Bb] The Protestant and Catholic working man, _
He [Eb] caused the bosses to fear, and for this they paid him dear, When [Bb] they [Eb] murdered brave [Bb] Joe McCann, [Eb] Joe McCann, when [Bb] they murdered [Eb] brave Joe [Bb] McCann. _ _
