I Believe

Time: 4/4 



[Verso 1]
 
C                                      F 
I've been up and down the highways in the dead of night 
D 
Singing songs about the justice that I don't believe is right 
C            F 
But I believe in you 
 


[Verso 2]
 
C                                      F 
I've seen a hundred graveyards and a chance to say goodbye 
D 
I've never known an English soldier, but I've seen a couple die 
C          F       C           F 
I believe, I believe in you 
 


[Refrão]
 
C                  F 
There's no flowers at the graveside from anyone at all 
Am                                      C 
Your picture's in the paper and I think that says it all 
D                              Dm 
And all that I can do is maybe dedicate this song 
F                              D 
To try and shame the bastards that spelt your name wrong 
C          F       C          F 
I believe, I believe, I believe in you 
C          G       C 
I believe in you 
 


[Verso 3]
 
C                                      F 
When men behind the wire, it rolled up and down the street 
Am                                      C 
You were planning revolution with your children at your feet 
D                                      Dm 
When the images of Ireland as a woman have all gone 
F                                      D 
It's the women of the movement that keep it moving on 
C          F       C          F 
I believe, I believe, I believe in you 
C          G       C 
I believe in you

[Verso 4]
 
C                                      F 
When your Catholic education has you up against the wall 
Am                                      C 
Don't worry sister, I'll be there if you fall 
D                                      Dm 
There's women in the kitchen and there's women on the street 
F                                      D 
There's women manning barricades, that's women on their feet 
C          F       C          F 
I believe, I believe, I believe in you 
C          G       C 
Yes, I believe in you
