MR
I can't believe the news today
I can't close my eyes and make it go away
C2 Dm
How long? How long must we sing this song?
C2 Dm F
How long? How long?
MR
Tonight we can be as one - tonight
MR
Broken bottles under children's feet.
Bodies strewn across a dead end street.
But I won't heed the battle call.
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall.
Chorus:
MR
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
(Silent for one riff)
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
MR
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won?
Th trenches dug within our hearts,
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart.
C2 Dm
How long? How long must we sing this song?
C2 Dm F
How long? How long?
MR
Tonight we can be as one - tonight
(Chorus)
MR
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink but tomorrow they die
Now the battle's just begun
So claim the victory that Jesus won
(Chorus)
