[Ab] Oh do not stand [Bb]
at my [C] grave and [Cm] [F] [Cm] weep
I [Ab] am not there, [Bb]
I do [C] not [F] sleep
[Cm]
Oh do [Ab] not stand [Gm]
at my [C] grave and [Cm] cry
When [Ab] Ireland [Bb] lives, I do [Cm] not die
A [Ab] woman's place [Bb] is [Cm] not at home
The fight [Ab] for freedom, [Bb]
it still [Cm] goes on
I took up [Ab] my gun [Bb]
and to [Cm] freedom's day
I pledged [Ab] to fight [Bb] for the [Cm] IRA
In [Ab] Armagh's jails, [Bb]
I served [Cm] my time
Strip searches [Ab] were [Bb]
a [Cm] British crime
[Bb] [Ab] Degraded me, [Bb] but they could [Cm] not see
I suffered [Ab] this [Bb] to see Ireland [Cm] free
[Ab] Gibraltar's rocks, [Bb]
the place [Cm] I died
McCann [Ab] and Savage [Bb]
were by [Cm] my side
I heard [Ab] the order [Bb]
so loud [Cm] and shrill
Of [Ab] Thatcher's voice, [Bb]
saying shoot [Cm] to kill
But do [Ab] not stand [Bb]
at my [Cm] grave and weep
I am [Ab] not there, [Bb]
I do [Cm] not sleep
Oh [Bb] do [Ab] not stand [Bb]
at my [Cm] grave and cry
When [Ab] Ireland [Bb] lives, I do [Cm] not die
Oh do not [Ab] stand [Bb]
at my [Cm] grave and weep
I [Ab] am not there, [Bb]
I do [Cm] not sleep
Oh do [Ab] not stand [Bb]
[Cm] and cry
When [Ab] Ireland [Bb] lives, I do [Cm] not die
[Gm] [Cm]
When [Ab] Ireland [Bb] lives, I do [Cm] not die
