This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Lyrics:

Irish blood, English heart

This I'm made of

There is no one on earth I'm afraid of

And no regime can buy or sell me

I've been dreaming of a time when

to be English is not to be baneful

to be standing by the flag, not feeling shameful

racist or racial

Irish blood, English heart

this I'm made of

There is no one on earth I'm afraid of

And I will die with both of my hands untied

I've been dreaming of a time when

the English are sick to death

of Labour, and Tories

and spit upon the name Oliver Cromwell

and denounce this royal line that still salute him

and will salute him

FOREVER...
