Chords for The Loughgall Martyrs Lyrics

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I've sung so [G] many songs of [D] fallen heroes _ [G] I really thought [A] that I had [D] said it all _
But if a [G] song can [A] fill our hearts and raise our spirits
[Bm] _ _
[G] Then we'll sing about [A] our [D] martyrs at Lochall
_ Well the Irish [G] nation bowed its [D] head in sorrow
_ [G] Had sadness that [A] this country had [D] seldom known _ _
[G] For [A] Monaghan had lost a gallant soldier
[Bm] _ [G] Who had seven [A] volunteers from [D] East Tyrol _ _
[G] Oh England [A] do you really think [D] it's over?
If [G] you do you're [A] gonna have to [D] kill us all _
_ [G] For until you take [A] your murderers [D] out of our [Bm] land
We [G] will make them [A] rue the blood spilled at [D]
Lochall
_ It was on a warm [G] and misty [D] Friday evening _
[G] A scent of [A] apple blossom [D] filled the air
_ _ [G] That village street [A] seemed quiet [D] and deserted
[Bm] _ [G] Of the SAS [A] were watching [D] everywhere _ _
The Digger [G] Bomb had only reached [D] its target
_ [G] The trap was sprung [A] and gunfire [D] filled the air _ _
[G] Maggie Thatcher [A] she did not want any prisoners
[Bm] _ _ [G] Should to kill [A] her orders [D] were quite clear _
_ [G] Oh England do you [A] really think [D] it's over?
_ If [G] you do you're [A] gonna have to [D] kill us all
_ _ [G] For until you take [A] your murderers [D] out of our [Bm] land
We [G] will make them [A] rue the blood spilled at [D] Lochall
_ _ You butchered eight [G] brave [D] volunteers that evening _
_ [G] They were kicked and [A] punched in case they were [D] not dead _ _
[G] You dragged them [A] up and down the [D] Armagh village
_ [Bm] _ [G] And you filled their [A] bodies full of [D] British lead _
Do you think that [G] it would teach us all [D] a lesson?
_ [G] At such savagery [A] the whole world [D] was appalled _
Well [G] don't you know [A] that there are plenty more [D] men way of [Bm] sin
_ [G]
For each one [A] that you murdered [D] at Lochall
_ _ [G] Oh England do you [A] really think [D] it's over? _
If [G] you do you're [A] gonna have to kill us [D] all
_ _ [G] For until you take [A] your murderers [D] out of [A] our land _
[Bm] We [G] will make them [A] rue the blood spilled at [D] Lochall _ _ _ _
Farewell to [G] Paddy Kelly [D] and Jim Lina
_ [G] No more you leader [A] fighting [D] unit forward
Side [G] by side of [A] Padraig McKernie [D] and Tony _ [Bm] Gormley
[G] You died to drive [A] the British [D] from the North
And Ecclin [G] Arthur's and the evil Seamus _ Donnelly
[G] On the night you [A] were the youngest [D] of them _ all
And [G] Gerard O'Callaghan [A] and the gallant [D] Eugene Kelly
[Bm] _ _
[G] Your blood still [A] stains the pavements [D] at Lochall
_ _ _ [G] Oh England do [A] you really think [D] it's over? _
If [G] you do you're [A] gonna have to kill [D] us all
_ _ [G] For until you take [A] your murderers out of our land
_ [Bm] _ [G] We will make them [A] rue the blood spilled at [D] Lochall _ _ _
[G] Oh England [A] do you really [D] think it's over?
_ [G] If you do you're gonna [A] have to kill [D] us all
For [G] until you [A] take your murderers out [D] of our [Bm] land
[G] We will make them rue [A] the blood spilled [Bm] at Lochall
_ [F#m] We [G] will make them [A] rue the blood spilled at [D] Lochall _ _
