Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Hey[F] pe[C]ople,[F]
[C]have you heard the new[F]s?
[Em]Ther[D]e's something go i[Ebdim]ng on
that [Em]we can't refuse
[G]Oh, you can't hide forever [F]in your shoes
[G]People dying[C], city streets[F][Em]
[D]Mothers crying[Ebdim] with
a [Em]baby at their feet
[G]Must be something we can do[F]
[G]To give Ire[C]land a chance to sur[F]vive
All she [C]needs is a chance to [F]survive
Civil [Em]war, [D]she [Em]hardly [Dm]knows what for
[G]Oh, [C]England, you're such a [F]pain
[Em]So m[D]any wars
[Ebdim]and now you've done it a[Em]gain
[G]What can you see in the en[F]d?
[G]Oh, just give [C]Ireland a chance to survive
[F]Keep the chi[C]ldren of Belfast ali[F]ve
What the hell can you [Em]talk about
Until your [Dm]troops get out?
[G]If you're so big[C] and free and pow[Em]erful
Why [Am]don't you show the world
[G]what peace can rea[F]lly mean?
Oh, you know [G]you can
Then on some [C]Saturday night
When every[G]body's all [Em]right
There'll [Am]be nobody fighting
And [G]nobody lying
They're [F]crying
Why [F#dim]does it h[G]ave to be a dream
When this is just [C]a song
Well, [F]I know
[D]No matter what [Ebdim]I say
It's [Em]still up to you
[G]But are you big enough [F]to lose?
[Fm]Wouldn't give Irel[C]and
her chance to survive
[F]All she[C] needs is the chance to surviv[F]e
Civil [Em]war, she hardly [Dm]knows what for
Human being[Em]s are dying,
while all the flag[Dm]s are flying
Petrol bomb[Em]s exploding,
while your gun[Dm]s are reloading
And what's [Em]it for?
Oh, what's [Dm]it all good for?
[Em]When all wars are civil wars,
[Dm]all men are brothers
[Em]All wars are c[D]ivil wars
[Em]An d[Dm] all men are [F]brothers
