Dm
Close your eyes and come with me back to 1984
Dm
We'll take a walk down Henry Street to Dunnes department store
Gm Dm Gm Dm
The supermarket is busy and the registers make a din
Dm F Am A
The groceries go rolling out and the cash comes rolling in
Dm
Mary Manning is at the checkout and she's trying to keep warm
Dm
When a customer comes up to her with a basket on her arm
Dm Gm Dm Gm
The contents of the basket Mary's future was to shape
Dm F Am A
For the label clearly stated "Produce of the Cape"
Dm
“I can't check out your oranges missus now won’t you bring them back
Dm
For they come from South Africa where white oppresses black
Dm Gm Dm Gm
I'd have it on my conscience and I couldn't sleep at night
Dm F Am A
If I helped support a system that denies black people's rights”
Dm
Our union says don't handle them it's the least that we can do
Dm
We fought oppression here for centuries we'll help them fight it too
Dm Gm Dm Gm
The managers descended in an avalanche of suits
Dm F Am A
And Mary was suspended 'cause she wouldn't touch the fruits
Dm Am Dm
Dunnes Stores, Dunnes Stores, Dunnes Stores
F Am Dm Dm F Am Dm
In St. Bernard better value beats them all
Dm
Her friends were all behind her and the union gave support
Dm
They called a strike and their pickets brought all Dunnes stores to a halt
Dm Gm Dm Gm
No-one was going to tell the boss, what he bought or sold
Dm F Am A
These women are only workers, they must do as they are told
Dm
Isn't that just typical of Apartheid’s cruel law
Dm
It's not just in South Africa, the rich trampling the poor
Dm Gm Dm Gm
He wouldn't have a boycott, he couldn't give a Tinker's curse
Dm F Am A
It doesn't matter how he fills the shelves so long as he lines his purse
(CHORUS)
Dm
The messages came rolling from all around the world
Dm
For such concern and sacrifice, and for courage brave and bold
Dm Gm Dm Gm
When fourteen months were over ten women and a man
Dm F Am A
Had helped to raise black consciousness all around the land
Dm
Clery's in O'Connell Street wouldn't sell South African shoes
Dm
Bestman sent all their clothes back, Roche's stores their booze
Dm Gm Dm Gm
Until all South Africa goods were taken off the shelves in Dunnes
Dm F Am A
Mary Manning was down in Henry Street, sticking to her guns
(CHORUS)
Dunnes stores in St. Bernard better value beats them all.
