Great Britain, you are tremendous

G D

And nobody knows like me

But really what are you doin'

G D

In the land across the sea

Bm E

Tell me how would you like it

G D

If on your way to work

Bm E

You were stopped by Irish soldiers

G

Would you lie down, do nothing

A7

Would you give in, go berserk

Give Ireland back to the Irish

Don't make them have to take it away

Give Ireland back to the Irish

Make Ireland Irish today

Great Britain, and all the people

Say that all people must be free

And meanwhile, back in Ireland

There's a man who looks like me

And he dreams of God and country

And he's feeling really bad

And he's sitting in a prison

Should he lie down, do nothing

Should he give in, or go mad

Give Ireland back to the Irish

Don't make them have to take it away

Give Ireland back to the Irish

Make Ireland Irish today

Give Ireland back to the Irish

Don't make them have to take it away

Give Ireland back to the Irish

Make Ireland Irish today

NOTE: "You can't stay out of it, you know, if you think at

all these days. We're still humans, you know, and you wake

up and you read your newspaper, it affects you. So I don't mind

too much, it doesn't worry me, like I say. I don't now plan to

do everything I do as a political thing, you know, but just

on this one occasion I think the British Government overstepped

their mark and showed themselves to be more of a sort of a

repressive regime than I ever believed them to be." (Paul

McCartney, 1972)
