WILLIE AND DANNY

Volunteers Willie Fleming and Danny Doherty were brutally shot dead by the SAS
while on active service on 6 December 1984.

[Am] Try to sing some [C] songs of [G] glory
[Am] Sing some songs of [C] peace
[Am] But in the end it's the [C] same old [G] story
They're [C] both so [G] hard to [Em] reach.
[Am] People tell me they're [C] sick and [G] tired
Of [Am] seeing this place run [C] down
Well I say: [Am] Take your blindfold [C] off, you [G] hypocrite
And [C] help us to get [G] off the [Em] ground.

[chorus]
Please say it isn't [Am] so [G]
Why Willie and [C] Danny had to [G] go
The reason's very [Am] clear [G]
They're laying down their [C] lives for us year after [G] year.

Seventy shots between their bodies
Not one of those bullets missed
For every trigger pulled that morning
A volunteer will enlist
For five long hours they left them lying there
The priest was turned away
So another step lower for those SAS bastards
We'll never forget the day.

The funerals were to prove their worthiness
Thousands thronged the streets
While those Borstel Boys hovered helplessly overhead
The 'Ra came out to salute
They emptied their magazines over each coffin
Defiantly the crowd were sent
So another day dawns and the guns will be out again
Cause Willie and Danny had friends.

[Gary Og]

Nearly, mo chara. I've ammended the chords, but bear in mind, I'm notorious for playing many different versions, so sometimes there are subtle changes. I've also left out some of the more "colourful" chords, I play a few suspended and diminished chords in there on ocassion, but you don't need them to get a good version. The core of the song is basically this. Hope it helps.

[Am] Try to sing some [F] songs of glory
[Am] Sing some songs of [G] peace
[Am] But in the end it's the [F] same old story
They're [G] both so hard to [E7] reach.
[Am] People tell me they're [F] sick and tired
Of [Am] seeing this place run [G] down
Well I say: [Am] Take your blindfold [F] off, you hypocrite
And [G] help us to get off the [E7] ground.

[chorus]
Please say it isn't [Am] so [G]
Why Willie and [F] Danny had to [G] go
The reason's very [Am] clear [G]
They're laying down their [F] lives for us year after [G] year.

Gary, a chara

Where are you playing tonight ?

Oh of course, you're an imposter !!

Would the real Gary Og please stand up !

[Gary Og]

Nowhere tonight a chara, however, one question, why would I take the time to correct the music and words of these songs, if i was an imposter?

And for the record, I'm quite happy sitting down, thanx!

The fella's name was Ryan, mo chara. Cruncher asked us to get them while we were drinking in McGlaughlins bar in Belfast. Is this satisfactory?

Stevie_Bhoy, my gaelic is nowhere near good enough to attempt to write out the song, but I'll make a deal. If you post up the words, I'll add in the chords.

All the best

I'll jump in here and post the Gaelic lyrics to Amhrán na bhFiann, cuz I also want to know the chords of Gary's version. =)

Seo dhibh a cháirde duan óglaigh,
Cathréimeach briomhar ceolmhar,
ár dtinte cnámh go buacach táid,
'S an spéir go min réaltogach
Is fonnmhar faobhrach sinn chun gleo
'S go tiúnmhar glé roimh thíocht do'n ló
Fé chiúnas chaomh na hoiche ar seol:
Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann

Sinne Firnna Fáil
A tá fé gheall ag éirinn,
buion dár slua
Thar toinn do ráinig chugainn,
Fé mhóid bheith saor.
Sean tír ár sinsir feasta
Ní fhagfar fé'n tiorán ná fén tráil
Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil,
Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil
Le guna screach fé lámhach na bpiléar
Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann.

Cois bánta réidhe, ar árdaibh sléibhe,
Ba bhuachach ár sinsir romhainn,
Ag lámhach go tréan fé'n sár-bhrat séin
Tá thuas sa ghaoith go seolta
Ba dhúchas riamh d'ár gcine cháidh
Gan iompáil siar ó imirt áir,
'S ag siúl mar iad i gcoinne námhad
Seo libh, canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann

Sinne Firnna Fáil
A tá fé gheall ag éirinn,
buion dár slua
Thar toinn do ráinig chugainn,
Fé mhóid bheith saor.
Sean tír ár sinsir feasta
Ní fhagfar fé'n tiorán ná fén tráil
Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil,
Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil
Le guna screach fé lámhach na bpiléar
Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann.

Btw Gary, may I ask what guitarlabel you're playing on? and also, did you receive my last mail?

This is the very basic version. I've always felt that because this song is the national anthem,
that it should be played basic and simple. no showing off or experimenting with this song. There are some who use different and certainly more chords in their versions, but as I said, I believe in keeping this one simple.

Sin ceart! I totally agree...
I have a more "detailed" (complicated?) (IMG:http://www.celtic-lyrics.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) version somewhere at home. I could have a look for it, just
in case someone is interested.
But ... go raibh maith agat for this version!

(For the Gaeilge afficionados: There's another lyrics version as Gaeilge with a slightly different (older) spelling.
I have that one as well (IMG:http://www.celtic-lyrics.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ...just drop a line, and I'll have a look where it is... (IMG:http://www.celtic-lyrics.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) )
