Song for Marcella

D        A         Hmi 
Doesn´t seem quite so long ago, 
G                   A 
The last time that I saw you, 
D        A              Hmi 
Ain´t it funny how the memories grow, 
G                      A 
Seems they always fold around you, 
      D           A                Hmi 
They tried to break you in a living hell, 
G                 A 
But they couldn´t find a way, 
D        A              Hmi 
So they killed you in a H-Block cell, 
G                        A 
And hoped that all would turn away, 
D                     A           Hmi 
Thought that your spirit wouldn´t rise again 
G                           A 
But you dared to prove them wrong, 
D         A                 Hmi 
And in death you tore away the chains, 
G                               A 
And let the world hear Freedom´s Song 
 
Chorus 
        G             A           D 
Yet the heartache and pain linger on, 
              G                                    A 
They´re still here though its so long since you’ve gone, 
          D        Hmi     F#mi      G 
But we´re stronger now you showed us how, 
Emi       A            D   A 
Freedom’s fight can be won 
 
I wish there was an easy road to chose, 
To bring the heartache to an end, 
But easy roads are always sure to lose, 
I´ve seen that time and time again, 
If you can stand by me like yesterday, 
I´ll find the strength to carry on, 
So let your spirit shine along the way, 
And our day will surely come 
 
Repeat Chorus 
+ 
Emi   A            G     A  D 
If we all stand as one
