[Intro]
G                                   C                    G
And it's down in the  Falls Road, that's where I long to be,
D                        G
Lying in the dark with a Provo company,
                   C      G             D
A comrade on me left and another on me right
       G       D                        G
And a clip of ammunition for my little Armalite.
 
G D
 
[Verse]
G                            C                  G
I was stopped by a soldier, he said, You are a swine,
D                               G
He hit me with his rifle and he kicked me in the groin,
                     C          G            D
I begged and I pleaded, all  me manners were polite
G                  D                         G
But all the time I'm thinking of me little Armalite.
 
[Chorus]
G                                C                 G
And it's down in the Bogside, that's where I long to be,
D                        G
Lying in the dark with a Provo company,
                   C         G           D
A comrade on me left and another on me right
        G        D                        G
And a clip of ammunition for my little Armalite.
 
[Verse]
G                       C                      G
Well this brave RUC man came marching up our street
D                               G
Six hundred British soldiers had lined up at his feet
                       C       G             D
Come out, ye cowardly Fenians, come out and fight.
G                    D                          G
he cried, I'm only joking, when he heard the Armalite.
 
[Chorus]
G                                C                 G
And it's down in Bellaghy, that's where I long to be,
D                        G
Lying in the dark with a Provo company,
                   C        G            D
A comrade on me left and another on me right
        G      D                        G
And a clip of ammunition for my little Armalite.

[Verse]
G                                  C                 G
Well, the army came to visit me, 'twas in the early hours,
D                               G
With Saracens and Salidins and Ferret armoured cars
                          C              G               D
They thought they had me cornered, but I gave them all a fright
         G               D                       G
With the armour piercing bullets of my little Armalite.
 
G                                C                 G
And it's down in the  New Lodge, that's where I long to be,
D                        G
Lying in the dark with a Provo company,
                C         G              D
A comrade on me left and another on me right
       G       D                        G
And a clip of ammunition for my little Armalite.

[Verse]
G                                 C                  G
When Pryor came to Belfast, says he, The battle's won,
D                               G
The generals they had told him “We’ve got them on the run”
                  C        G                D
But corporals and privates while on patrol at night,
         G           D                      G
Say “Remember Narrow Water and the bloody Armalite”
 
[Chorus]
G                                C                 G
And it's down in Crossmaglen, that's where I long to be,
D                        G
Lying in the dark with a Provo company,
                   C       G             D
A comrade on me left and another on me right
        G      D                        G
And a clip of ammunition for my little Armalite.
