Repeat Chords of first verse
 
                Verse   2
The time has long gone past
We're getting no where fast
They're taking all the heat at Downing Street
Dublin's' Tachta Dail
It's time you made your call
For freedom and for justice one and all
 
                 Verse 3 
I'm now far away
It's here I want to stay
Because of all that fear and disarray
I hope someday there'll be a home for you and me
Back here in the Isle of Innisfree
