THE RIFLES OF THE IRA - Wolfe Tones
Chords:
G: 320033
C: x32010
D: xx0232
Em: 022000
In G nineteen hundred and sixteen,
The C Forces D of the G Crown,
To Capture Orange, Em White and Green,
BomDbarded Dublin G Town,
But in twenty one, Em Britannia's huns,
Were D forced to earn their G pay,
When the Black and Tans, Like lightning ran
From the C rifles of the D IRGA
They G burned their way through Munster
and Laid C Leinster D on the G rack,
Through Connaught and in Em Ulster,
Marched the men D in brown and G black,
They shot down wives and Em child-er-en,
In their D own heroic G way,
And the Black and Tans, Like lightning ran
From the C rifles of the D IRGA
They hanged young Kevin Barry high,
A [C] lad of [D] eighteen [G] years,
Cork City's flames lit Em up the sky,
But our D brave boys new no G fear.
The Cork Brigade with Em hand grenade
In amDbush waiting layG,
And the Black and Tans, Like lightning ran
From the C rifles of the D IRGA
The G tans were got, taken out and shot
By the C brave and D the valiant few, G
Sean Treacy, Denny, Em Lacey,
And Tom BarrDy's Gallant crew, G
Though we're not free yeEmt, we won't forget
UnDtil our dying G day
How the Black and Tans, Like lightning ran
From the C rifles of the D IRGA
