I M P O R T A N T N O T E F R O M Q U A L I T Y T A B S:
This tab was transcribed by Louis Visscher, not me. The only corrections
I made were the chords in the strumming bit. They were in the wrong
positions and the B is supposed to be a Bm. This tab is complete for
the whole song, it's not divided into verses or choruses or anything.
It's very accurate but for those of you who just want the main parts
and the lyrics and can figure out where which part goes, look at the
end of the file, there it is for you advanced players. Any corrections
should be sent both to qualitytabs and to Louis Visscher. Other tabs
by Louis here at Quality Tabs are Ironic, Head Over Feet and You Oughta
Know by Alanis Morrisette and It's So Hard by Anouk.

SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY LYRICS:
----------------------------
Yeah!
Mmmmmm, mmmm-mmmmm
I can't believe the news today,
oh I can't close my eyes and make it go away.
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how loooooong?
Cause tonight
we can be as one,
tonight!
Broken bottles under children's feet,
Bodies strewn across the dead-end street
But I won't heed the battle call
it puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Oh, let's go!
And the battle's just begun,
there's many lost but tell me who has won?
the trenches dug within our hearts,
and mother's children, brothers sisters torn apart.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how loooooong?
Cause tonight
we can be as one,
tonight!
Tonight, tonight (Sunday, bloody sunday)
Tonight, tonight (Sunday, bloody sunday)
Oh, let's go!
Wipe the tears from your eyes
wipe your tears away,
I'll wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your bloodshot eyes
Sunday, bloody sunday
Ah! Yeah, let's go!
And it's true we are immune.
when fact is fiction and T.V 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
on Sunday, bloody Sunday yeah
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
