A#m       C#               F#6
I can't believe the news today
A#m           C#
Oh, I can't close my eyes
     F#6
And make it go away
C#
How long...
D#m
How long must we sing this song?
C#             D#m
How long? How long...
         A#m  C#  F#6
'cause tonight we can be as one
   A#m C#  F#6
Tonight.

A#m        C#             F#6
   Broken bottles under children's feet
A#m          C#              F#6
   Bodies strewn across the dead end street
A#m             C#              F#6
   But I won't heed the battle call
A#m            C#
   It puts my back up
         F#6
Puts my back up against the wall

Chorus:
A#m   C#         F#6
  Sunday, Bloody Sunday
A#m   C#         F#6
  Sunday, Bloody Sunday
E   D#m          C#
 Sunday, Bloody Sunday
E D#m C#
        uh let's go.

And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me, who has won?
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart

Chorus:
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

How long
How long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
'Cause tonight, we can be as one
Tonight

Chorus:
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Come get some!

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your bloodshot eyes

Chorus:
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

And it's true, we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today, the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow, they die
The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won

Chorus:
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
