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...

version 3
Notes:
Standard Tuning
B = Bend note
x = Mute note
The beginning and the verse use a tricky strumming pattern. The easiest way
to describe it is it's like a horse's galloping. Listen to the song and you
should be able to pick it up. I tried to draw out the strumming pattern to
the best of my ability.
"Gallop strumming"
