I WILL GO (Proposed Irish Version)
Chorus
I will [G]go, I will go
When the [C]fighting is [Am]over
Tae the [G]land of the Gael
Which I [C]left
to be a [Am]soldier
I will [G]go, I will go
The [G]King's Sergeant came along
And [C]gathered us to[Am]gether
Sayin', [G]Brave Irishmen
Will you [C]fight
for your [Am]sovereign?
I will [G]go, I will go
Chorus
I've a [G]buckle on my belt
A [C]sword in my [Am]scabbard
A [G]red coat on my back
And a [C]shillin' in my [Am]pocket
I
will [G]go, I will go
Chorus
When they [G]brought us all on board
The [C]lasses were [Am]singin'
But the [G]tears came to their eyes
When
the [C]bells started [Am]ringin'
I will [G]go, I will go
Chorus
When we [G]landed on the shore
And [C]saw the foreign [Am]heather
We [G]knew that some would fall
And would
[C]lie there for[Am]ever
I will [G]go, I will go
Chorus
When we [G]came back to our land
The [C]winter was [Am]coming
Our [G]crop lay in the mud
And our [C]houses were
[Am]burnin'
I will [G]go... I will go
Chorus
