_ He gathered round me, running down my salty [E] wild sea,
In memory [E] of a brave young Irishman,
_ [A] Who would not [Em] concede defeat, [F#m] on his stand would [B] not retreat.
I sing of the gallant Bobby Sands, [E] Bobby Sands,
Yes, I [A] sing of the late great [B] Bobby Sands.
_ He organised the hunger strike, the women [E] changed the form,
He stopped evil tyrants in their place,
[A] To regained [E] by the man's, [F#m] put his young life in his [B] hands,
For the betterment of comrades in Armagh and [E] in the maze,
Armagh [A] and the H-blocks [B] in the maze.
He tried to build your spirit, but no way could they succeed,
_ Phoenix in [A] your heart, he tried [B] to quell,
The [A] dead beacon's [B] degradation, [F#m] all in vain to their [B] frustration,
For the more they tried, the more you would rebel,
You [E] would rebel, with dignity [A] your grace [B] upon this world.

_ With a message to come to you, [E] on a rain of salt, she's gone,
[B] And the heaven's tears [A] of patriots were [E] shed,
With [A] the joy that you are [B] free, to walk [F#m] with tone and [B] comely,
For never lift the name of Bobby Sands, he shall [E] adhere,
[B] Your name to foe [A] shall always listen [B] fair.
_ So for all you people, I'll sing to you a song,
In memory of [A] a brave young [E] Belfast man, _
Who [A] had luck and see [E] the feat, from a [F#m] stand written up to [B] the treat,
I sing of the gallant Bobby Sands, Bobby [E] Sands,
Yes I sing of [A] the late great Bobby [B] Sands.
