    Story Behind the Song
    On January 19, 2003 after viewing a film on The Hidden Wars of Iraq
    I announced to the room full of people that I was giving up my day job to work for Peace.
    The day job I had at the time was as a Dinning Room/Piano-Bar Entertainer. The day job
    I have now is as a writer of Peace Songs. I'm discovering a sense of comfort because
    I'm doing what I can to defy the war-machine & bidding others to do the same.

    Lyrics
    Give 3 Cheers to the Dixie Chicks
    Del Ryan 10May2003 (306) 978-2266



    Let's [G] give three cheers to the Dixie Chicks & one cheer for the[D] Pope
    When the USA was off to war they stood up & [G] spoke
    When liberty & democracy had all gone up in [D] smoke
    When war came down they stood their ground that's why they get my [G] vote

    So give three cheers to the Dixie Chicks & one cheer for the Pope
    Well liberty & democracy have become a joke
    When good people do nothing that's when we've lost hope
    When war came down they stood their ground that's why they get my [G] vote

    Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray , hip hip hooray, praise the lord



    Give three cheers to the Dixie Chicks & one cheer for the Pope
    Nobody listens to them that's what the papers wrote
    But they stayed at the top of the charts because of decent folk
    When war came down they stood their ground that's why they get my [G] vote

    So lets give three cheers to the Dixie Chicks & one cheer for the Pope
    The American thought control machine has finally broke
    Well they didn't stop the war but they gave us all some hope
    When war came down they stood their ground that's why they get my [G] vote

    Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray , hip hip hooray, praise the lord


    ( 8 bar Instrument solo )



    So give three cheers to the Dixie Chicks & one cheer for the Pope
    Fear and disapproval have got them in the scope
    But through the jeers and the media smears they've help us cope
    When war came down they stood their ground that's why they get my [G] vote

    So give three cheers to the Dixie Chicks & one cheer for the Pope
    When the lies thick as flies made me choke
    They were proud to speak out loud strong as an oak
    When war came down they stood their ground that's why they get my [G] vote

    Hip hip hooray ....hip hip hooray ...hip hip hooray , praise the lord
