	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
