[G] [D] [G] Captain Taggart took the field With [Em] his men as hard as steel
And [C] we drove the bloody [G] rebels to the [D] sea [Em] Before the guns [C] were still
And there were [G] many hundreds [D] killed [G] There's many an [D] Irish girl sat [G] tonight
When the smoke had cleared It was [Em] just as we had feared
[C] Captain Taggart [G] lay wounded on [D] the ground With [Em] his head upon my [C] knee
There [G] he a met eternity [D] I [G] proudly closed [D] his eyes and then I [G] cried
And [D] lit some whiskey in [G] the morning [D] And whiskey in [G] the night
[D] Another [Em] Irish soldier that [C] has fought his final [G] fight
[D] We'll toast him till [G] we're [D] drunk, boys And douse the [C] candlelight
[Em] And tell them [G] Captain Taggart [D] is coming home tonight
[Em] Well, [D]
[G] we took his body home And [Em] the drums and pipes did roam
[C] And pulled a fine [G] black casket through [D] the streets
And [Em] then told his [C] grieving wife That [G] he loved her more than [D] life
[G] And gave to his [D] young son his [G] father's sword
Now the people lay out to dream [Em] Of an Ireland free and green
[C] For nowhere can [G] be heard the battle [D] cry
[Em] The fighting's gone [C] too long And [G] the jeer strikes [D] on and on
[G] I'd like to know [D] some peace before [G] I die
And [D] lit some whiskey in [G] the morning [D] And whiskey in [G] the night
[D] Another [Em] Irish soldier that [C] has fought his final [G] fight
[D] We'll toast him till [G] we're drunk, [D] boys And douse the [C] candlelight
