My little Armalite
[Intro]
G C G
And it's down in the Falls Road, that's where I long to be,
D G
Lying in the dark with a Provo company,
C G
A comrade on me left and another on me right
D G
And a clip of ammunition for my little Armalite.
G D
[Verse]
G C G
I was stopped by a soldier, he said, You are a swine,
D G
He hit me with his rifle and he kicked me in the groin,
C G D
I begged and I pleaded, all me manners were polite
G D
But all the time I'm thinking of me little Armalite.
[Chorus]
G C G
And it's down in the Bogside, that's where I long to be,
D G
Lying in the dark with a Provo company,
C G
A comrade on me left and another on me right
D G
And a clip of ammunition for my little Armalite.
[Verse]
G C G
Well this brave RUC man came marching up into our street
D G
Six hundred British soldiers had lined up at his feet
C G D
Come out, ye cowardly Fenians, come out and fight.
G G D
he cried, I'm only joking, when he heard the Armalite.
[Chorus]
G C G
And it's down in Bellaghy, that's where I long to be,
D G
Lying in the dark with a Provo company,
C G
A comrade on me left and another on me right
D G
And a clip of ammunition for my little Armalite.
G D
[Verse]
G C G
Well, the army came to visit me, 'twas in the early hours,
D G
With Saracens and Salidins and Ferret armoured cars
C G D
They thought they had me cornered, but I gave them all a fright
G D
With the armour piercing bullets of my little Armalite.
G C G
And it's down in the New Lodge, that's where I long to be,
D G
Lying in the dark with a Provo company,
C G
A comrade on me left and another on me right
D G
And a clip of ammunition for my little Armalite.
G D
[Verse]
G C G
When Pryor came to Belfast, says he, The battle's won,
D G
The generals they had told him “We’ve got them on the run”
C G D
But corporals and privates while on patrol at night,
G D
Say “Remember Narrow Water and the bloody Armalite”
[Chorus]
G C G
And it's down in the Crossmaglen, that's where I long to be,
D G
Lying in the dark with a Provo company,
C G
A comrade on me left and another on me right
D G
And a clip of ammunition for my little Armalite.
