[C]
[F] [G]
[Fm] [C] In the [G] nineteen hundred [Em] and sixteen the [F] forces of the [C] crown
To take the [Am] [C] orange, white [F] and green [G]
bombarded Dublin [C] town
A foot and twenty-one [F] Britannia's sons [G] were forced to end their pay
And [C] the [Em] blackened cannons like a lightening ran [Fm] from the rifles of the [C] IRL
[Em] They burned their way [C] through [Em] Munster and [F] they lay [Fm] Lenskar under [C] the wreck
Broken heart and [Cm] through [F] Ulster [G] marched the men in brown [C] and black
To shoot down wives and [F] children [G] in their own heroic way
And [C] the [Em] blackened cannons like a lightening ran [F] from the rifles [Fm] of the [C] IRL
They hanged John Kerry in the barry high, [Fm] a lad of eighteen [C] years
Cork city's flames lit up [F] the sky but [G] all brave boys knew [C] no fear
But Cork brigade with hundred [A] and eighty [G] men pushed away in a lay
[Em] And the blackened cannons like a lightening ran [F] from the rifles [Fm] of the [C] IRL
The tans [Em] were got, taken out and shot by [Dm] a [Fm] brave and valiant [C] crew
John Tracy, Denny [F] Lacey [G] and Tom Burry's [C] gallant crew
We're not [Am] free yet, [C] we won't [Dm] forget [G] until our dying day
And the [C] blackened cannons like a lightening [Em] ran from [F] the rifles of [Fm] the [C] IRL
