Bridge w/ E chunk (hit the E-Chord 4-5 times, but play chunk notes only = mute with left hand)
Now the Verse starts, all other verses follow the same progression so I’ll just write ‘Verse-Prog’ later:
Verse-Prog:
A(9 times) E E D D
with a rumble of boots and a soldier’s suit they march through irish land –
A( 9 times) E E D D A (about 4 times)
fresh faced boys turned to grim young men with a union jack in hand
E (9 times) A A D D
look to the roof for trouble boy and don’t trust anyone-
E (9 times) A A D D E(4 times) AADDEEEE
your’re a foreigner in a foreign land and you don’t belong my son——-
Pre Chorus w/ E chunk
Chorus.Prog:
EAEAA (played over the vocals during whole chorus) then DAEEEEEEEEE 4 times
Verse2 w/ Verse-Prog (see above)
Bridge w/ E chunk
Chorus w/ Chrous-Prog
Now a comes a new sequence, the rythm guitar plays the listed chords, the lead guitar plays the riff:
E DD AA
e—4-5-4-5-4- (continue…) ———————–5-4-2-0-0
Don’t think this is a catholic (…) I sing a different song
E rythm guitar out
e—4-5-4-5-4- (continue…) —————————— lead guitar out
No excuse to split a country(…) you know best England I love you in so many ways
E DD AA D D A A
e——————–5-4-2-0-0———-5-4-2-0-0
But let’s put this crap to rest
Bridge w/ E chunk
Chorus: EAEAA like before but then at the end you play ADEEEEEEEEE ( 3 times)
That’s it, hope you enjoy the song!
