Am         Am        G          Am
I'll sing you a song of a row in the town
         C               G          Em              Am
When the Green flag went up and the Crown flag came down
          C            G            G        Em
Twas the neatest and sweetest thing ever you saw
         Am                G                Am   G  Am
And they played that great game they called Erin Go Bragh

    Am           Am             G            Am
God Bless galant Pearse and his comrades who died
    C         G          Em         Am
Tom Clark, MacDonagh, MacDiarmad, McBryde
    C               G            G        Em
And here's to James Connolly who gave one Hurrah!
    Am            G            Am   G  Am
And faced the machine guns for Erin Go Bragh

    Am         Am          G            Am
Now one of our leaders was down in Ringsend
        C        G          Em            Am
For the honor of Ireland to uphold and defend
       C           G           G          Em
He had no veteran soldiers but volunteers raw
        Am           G         Am   G  Am
Playing sweet Mauser music for Erin Go Bragh

    Am             Am            G        Am
Old Ceannt and his comrades like lions at bay
         C            G            Em           Am
From the South Dublin Union poured death and dismay
    C              G                G           Em
But what was their wrath when the invaders' men saw
        Am          G            Am   G  Am
All the dead khaki soldiers o'er Erin Go Bragh

  Am            Am          G           Am
A great foreign captain was raving that day
        C           G             Em        Am
Saying "Give me one hour and I'll blow you away"
      C          G          G            Em
But a big Mauser bullet got stuck in his craw
       Am           G         Am   G  Am
And he died of lead poison in Erin Go Bragh

  Am       Am         G        Am
A glory to Dublin, to her do renown
       C        G           Em           Am
In the long generations her fame will go down
        C             G              G           Em
And the children will tell how their forefathers saw
    Am           G            Am   G  Am
The red blaze of freedom o'er Erin Go Bragh
