[Intro]
A    E  A
[Verse 1]
There’s a Aplace in dear old Ireland in the county of red and Dwhite
Where the AIrish men and women there they Enever give up the fight
Where the Aonly army allowed there are the ones they call the DRA
And Aif you haven’t guessed it yet it’s the Evillage of CapApagh
[Chorus]
So Acome on Maggie Thatcher, enough of your old Dlies
AdAmit to the killings of the Emen that we despise
We Awant no made-up stories, the truth we want to Dknow
How they were Ablew away by the IRA in ECappagh in TyArone
[Post-Chorus]
A    E A
[Verse 2]
When the Avolunteers prepared themselves for the ambush they had Dlaid
The ABrits bring nothing but sadness here, and it’s Etime that they had paid
So Awhen the SAS arrived, drove past without no Dhaste
Till an AXR3 pulled up alongside and Eput them in their Aplace
[Chorus]
So Acome on Maggie Thatcher, enough of your old Dlies
AdAmit to the killings of the Emen that we despise
We Awant no made-up stories, the truth we want to Dknow
How they were Ablew away by the IRA in ECappagh in TyArone
[Post-Chorus]
A    E A
[Verse 3]
Now AEngland, admit to it and forget about your Dpride
We Asaw them two soldiers there Elying side by side
We Ahope you learn from your mistakes to leave us all aDlone
And Aget your dogs to pack their bags and Esend them all back Ahome
[Chorus]
So Acome on Maggie Thatcher, enough of your old Dlies
AdAmit to the killings of the Emen that we despise
We Awant no made-up stories, the truth we want to Dknow
How they were Ablew away by the IRA in ECappagh in TyArone
[Outro]
How they were Ablew away by the IRA in ECappagh in TyArone
