Lyrics

Minds Locked Shut

Christy Moore

G                         C
It happened on a Sunday afternoon
G                             C
On a lovely bright crisp winters afternoon
D                G
On a perfect day for walking.

G
There was gunshots, stones and bullets
C                              G
On a lovely bright crisp winters afternoon
C
There was chaos, panic and death,
G            C
Disbelief upon the faces
C
Fear and bewilderment
G
The seconds seemed so long
C
They’re firing bullets at us
G                          C
It was not supposed to be like this
G         C
Awesome to behold

G
And then our minds locked shut
C
And then our minds locked shut
G
And then our minds locked shut
C
And then our minds locked shut

D   C
And there remains ..

G                      C
Jackie Duddy and Willie Nash,
G                       C
Gerry Donaghy, Willy McKinney,
G                      C
Gerard McKinney and Jim Wray
G                       C
Johnny Johnston, Barney McGuigan,
G                       C
Paddy Doherty, Kevin McIlhenny
G                C
John Young, Mickey Kelly,
G                  C
Hugh Gilmore, Micheal McDaid

C
Let us remember ..

G                          C
It happened on a Sunday afternoon
G                              C
On a lovely bright crisp winters afternoon
D               G
On a perfect day for walking.
