Key: G major
Verse 1
G
D
He met the world as a
Dalmatian boy
Raised from a shaft at Moncton Hall
In a well oiled cage
That locked away his dreams
An `85 veteran face from the gallery
A ghost from the civil war in the family
He stood his ground on the picket line
`Til all that he was left with
Were his father`s cough
And his mother`s eyes
That would hold a tear
For the very first time
C
G
When the government took his job away
Declare his name and mark his time
C
G
To some the only proof that they`re alive

He sewed razor blades into the lapels
Cool dust oozing out of every pore

Verse 5
Bound for platforms drilling
oil rich seas
Where the trawlers are getting
fewer every year
By the furnaces at Ravenscraig
By the padlocks holding
John Brown`s gates
In the desert, in the fields of South Armagh
G
D
Where the poppies grow
Behind the Hampden roar
Behind the drums in Genoa
You can bet on him with the
odds against you
