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
