[Verse 1]
 
        D           A     Bm      G
There's nothin' for us in Belfast
    D          A          Bm   G
The Pound's so old it's a pity
D               A          Bm     G
OK, there's the trident in Bangor
         D         A      Bm   G
And then walk back to the city
A                               G
  We ain't got nothin' but they don't really care
They don't even know you know
A
  They just want money
       G
We can take it or leave it
        A    N.C.
What we need is
 
 
[Chorus]
 
   D**         C  G
An Alternative Ulster
C                           G
Grab it and change it, it's yours
       D**         C  G
Get an Alternative Ulster
C                          G
Ignore the bores and their laws
       D**         C  G
Get an Alternative Ulster
      C             G
Be an anti-security force
      D**         C  G
Alter your native Ulster
C     G           D
Alter your native land
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
D,  A,  Bm,  G  (x2)
 
D           A            Bm     G
Take a look where you're livin'
            D    A       Bm     G
You got the Army on your street
        D   A        Bm       G
And the RUC dog of repression
   D       A       Bm   G
Is barking at your feet
A                               G
  Is this the kind of place you wanna live?
Is this where you wanna be?
A                             G
  Is this the only life we're gonna have?
        A    N.C.
What we need is
 
 
[Chorus]
 
(as per chorus 1)
 
Bm     A             G
  They say they're a part of you
                        A
But that's not true you know
Bm     A                  G
  They say they've got control of you
                     A
And that's a lie you know
Bm     A            G
  They say you will never be
C     G C    G C    A
Free,   free,  free
