Intro:
G-G-C-C
G-D-G-C-G
In
(G)Ireland's fight for (C)freedom, boys
The
(G)North has (Em)played it's (D)part
(G)Though
freedom’s day has (C)still to dawn
We've
(G)never (D)yet lost (G)heart
For
we'll (D)fight it out un(G)til the (Em)end
We'll
(G)fight for we (C)cannot (D)fail
We
(G)know we'll win al(C)though they have
Our
(G)lads in (D)Crumlin (G)Jail.
We
(G)gave to Erin (C)Owen Roe
We
(G)gave her (Em)Shane O'(D)Neill
And
(G)Tone and Cavehill (C)made a vow
That
(G)England (D)still can (G)feel
Joe
Mc(D)Kelvey did, not (G)die in (Em)vain
He
(G)too drove (C)home (D) ???
(He
(G)was a (C)Northern (D)Gael)
And
(G)that's another (C)reason why,
They
keep our (G)lads in (D)Crumlin (G)Jail
So
keep (G)on the fight, you (C)volunteers
For
(G)God is (Em)on your (D)side
No
(G)jail can't break our (C)brave young men
No
(G)prison (D)clamp their (G)pride.
For
(D)England knows and (G)England (Em)fears
Our
(G)fearless (C)Northern (D)Gaels
And
(G)that's another (C)reason why,
They’ll
free our (G)lads in (D)Crumlin (G)Jail
For
(D)England knows and (G)England (Em)fears
Our
(G)fearless (C)Northern (D)Gaels
And
(G)that's another (C)reason why,
We’ll
free our (G)lads in (D)Crumlin (G)Jail
