[D] [A] [D]
Oh, the empire is finished, no foreign lands to seize,
[G] So the greedy [D] eye of England is turning [A] towards the seas,
[D] Two hundred miles from [Bm] Donegal.
[D] There's a place that's called Rockall,
[G] And the groping [D] hands of [A] Whitehall,
Grabbing [D] at its walls,
Oh, Rockall, Rockall, [Bm] you never fall.
[D]
Barbarians greedy hands,
Oh, [G] you meet the same [D] resistance,
Like you did [A] in many lives.
[D] May the seagulls rise to block [Bm] your eyes,
[D] And the water crush your shell,
[G] And the natural [D] gas would burn your [A] ass,
Blow [D] you all to hell.
This rock is part of Ireland,
For it's written in folklore,
[G] [D] Finnickle took a stodd of grass,
He threw it [A] through the fore.
[D] Then he tossed the pebble [Bm] across the sea,
[D] Wherever did it fall?
[G] For the sod [D] became the Isle of [A] Man,
The pebbles [D] call Rockall.
Oh, Rockall, Rockall, you [Bm] never fall.
[D]
Barbarians greedy hands,
[G] Oh, you meet [D] the same resistance,
Like you did [A] in many lives.
[D] May the seagulls [Bm] rise to block your eyes,
[D] And the water crush your [G] shell,
And the natural gas [D] would burn your ass,
[A] Blow [D] you all to hell.
Oh, the seas will not be silent,
While Britannia grabs the waves,
[G] Remember [D] that the Irish will no longer be [A] your slaves.
[D] Remember that [Bm] Britannia well,
[D] She rules the waves no more,
[G] Keep your [D] hands off Rockall,
[A] It's Irish [D] to the core.
Oh, Rockall, Rockall, you [Bm] never fall.
[D]
Barbarians greedy hands,
[G] Oh, you meet the [D] same resistance,
Like you did [A] in many lives.
[D] May the seagulls rise [Bm] to block your eyes,
[D] And the water crush your [G] shell,
And the natural gas [D] would burn your ass,
[A] Blow [D] you all to hell.
Oh, Rockall, Rockall, [Bm] you never fall.
[D] Barbarians greedy hands,
[G] Oh, you meet the [D] same resistance,
Like you did in many [A] lives.
