  C          Am          F                C
Oh I.R.A. and U.V.F. this song is just for you
                     Am            F                G
As you sit down at the table now to see what you can do
  F                   G           C                 F
At last you’ve come together after all the tears and time
    C              G             F        G     C
It’s sad you didn’t do it back in Nineteen Sixty Nine
  C          Am          F                C
History calls you savages but I know that isn’t true
         Am            F                G
For we grew up together and I am part of you
  F                   G           C                 F
We all had dreams and hopes and fears and someone else to blame
    C              G             F        G     C
It took so long to realize our dreams were all the same

   C         F                 C
You know our dreams were all the same
   F              C
But who would dare proclaim
      F             G
In the anger and the pain
   F           G       C
Our dreams were all the same

  C          Am          F                C
We felt the taste of hunger when they factory went away
                     Am            F                G
And then they closed the hospital they said it didn’t pay
  F                   G           C                 F
And as the rich got richer and kept promising the sky
    C             G             F   G       C
All we got were promises and colored flags to fly
  C          Am          F                C
I remember well your little girl she had ribbons in her hair
                            Am            F                G
When she came to play that Summer’s day with the children in the square
  F                   G           C                 F
To think they could be here today still laughing and alive
    C              G             F        G     C
If strong men had been wise men in Nineteen Seventy Nine

   C         F                 C
You know our dreams were all the same
   F              C
But who would dare proclaim
      F             G
In the anger and the pain
   F           G       C
Our dreams were all the same

  C          Am          F                C
It was always all or nothing there was nothing in between
             Am            F                G
Compromise was treachery that’s the way it seemed
  F                   G           C                 F
And now we’re left with nothing but a future we must find
    C              G             F        G     C
And count the cost of the chances lost in Nineteen Eighty Nine
  C          Am          F                C
Oh I.R.A. and U.V.F. this song is just for you
                Am            F                G
As you sit down at the table now to see what you can do
  F                   G           C                 F
At last you’ve come together after all the tears and time
    C              G             F        G     C
It’s sad you didn’t do it back in Nineteen Ninety Nine

   C         F                 C
You know our dreams were all the same
   F              C
But who would dare proclaim
      F             G
In the anger and the pain
   F           G       C
Our dreams were all the same
