[A] [D]
[A] [D]
[A] [C#m] [E] [F#m]
[Em] [A]
[D]
For the town it [A] climbs the mountain
And looks out upon [Em] the sea
[A] In sleeping time
[E]
Awaking, [A] oh it's there I long to be
To walk [Em] again that [E] coily [A] street
The place I grew a man
And where [D] the [A] boys of Audishirraida
Went hunting [Em] for the ram
Ah, [D] with cudgel [A] stout we roamed about
To hunt the brave [E] Drolyn
[A] We searched for birds [Em] [C#] in every [F#m] furze
From [G] Latyr [A]
to Duldin
We sang for [Am] joy [E] beneath the [D] sky [A]-light peal
No prince or plan, [D] and we boys
Of [A] Audishirraida went hunting [Em] for the ram
[D] And when [A] the heels were bleeding
The rifles [Em] were aflame [A] to the rebel haunts
[Em] Of [A] Kerry, [D] of [A] Saxon, stranger Cain
But the boys who [Em] dared the [A] oxes
And who beat the black and tans
[Em] They [D] were the boys [A] of Audishirraida
Who hunted [E] for the ram
[D] So here's [A] a toast to them tonight
The lads who [E] laughed with me
[A] By the groves of [E] [A] Caran River
Oh, the slopes of Beheti
John [B] Dolly [Em] and [C#m] Vatandi
[A] And the sheehans, Cahn and Dan
[E] They [D] were the boys of [A] Audishirraida
Who hunted [Em] for the ram
[D] For now [A] they toil on foreign soil
For they have gone [Em] their way
[A] Deep in the heart [E] of [A] London [C#] town
[D] Around New [A] York's Broadway
And I am [F#m] left [Em] to sing their deeds
[D] And to praise them [A] while I can
For [D] those boys [A] of Audishirraida
Who hunted [E] for the ram
[D] And when [A] the wheel of [F#m] life runs round
[A] And peace comes [E] over me
[A] I'll lay me down [E] in [C#] that old [D] town
Between the [A] hills and sea
I'll take [F#m] my [C#] sleep in those green [F#m] fields
The [D] place [A] my life began
[F#] And [D] where the boys [A] of Audishirraida
Went hunting [E] for the ram
And where [D] the boys [Bm] of [A] Audishirraida
[F#m] [Em] Went hunting for [D] the ram
[A] [E] [F#m] [Em]
