Intro 1
(D major)
Verse 1
A (D major) Cadillac stood (G major) by the (D major) house
And the Yanks they (G major) were with (D major) in
The Tinker Boys, they (G major) hissed advice
Hard (D major) wirer with a (A major) pin
We (D major) turned and shook as we (G major) had a look
In the (D major) room where the dead man (A major) lay
So (D major) Big Jim Dwyer made (G major) his last (D major) trip
To the home where his (A major) father lay (D major)
Fifteen minutes later we had our
(G major) first taste (D major) of whisky
There were uncles giving lectures
on an (G major) cient Irish (A major) history
The men (G major) all started telling jokes
(D major) an d the women they (A major) got frisky
By five (D major) o 'clock in the evening
every bas (G major) tard there was (A major) pissed
Fare thee (D major) well gone (A major) away,
there's nothing left to (D major) say
Farewell (G major) to New York City boys,
to (D major) Bo ston F .B (A major) .A.
He (G major) took the mail with a well -aimed (D major) clout
and was often (A major) heard to say
I'm a (D major) freeborn (G major) man of the (A major) U .S (D major) .A.
He fought the champ in Pittsburgh
And he (G major) slashed him to the (D major) ground
Took on Tiny Tartanella
And it (G major) only went one (A major) round
He (G major) never had no time for (D major) reds
For drink or (A major) dice or whores
And he (D major) never threw a fight
when the fight was right
So they (G major) sent him off to (A major) war
Fair thee (D major) well gone (A major) away
There's nothing left to (D major) say
With a (G major) slouch and jaw and an ear and (D major) go
My love's in America
(A major) They (G major) call and love their rosary
(D major) Spanish wine from far (A major) away
I'm a (D major) free -born (G major) man of the (A major) U .S (D major) .A.
(G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
(A major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) (A major)
This (D major) morning on the harbor,
when I (G major) said goodbye to (D major) you
I remember how I swore
that I'd come (G major) back to you one (A major) day
And (G major) as the sunset came to (D major) meet
the evening (A major) on the hill
I (D major) told you I'd always love you,
always (G major) did and I always (A major) will
Barely (D major) well gone (A major) away,
there's nothing left to (D major) say
Except to (G major) say a duty rises (D major) blue
as the water in the (A major) bay
To (G major) bid Jim Dwyer the man of wire
who (D major) was often (A major) heard to say
I'm a (D major) freeborn (G major) man of the (A major) U .S (D major) .A.
A freeborn (G major) man of the (A major) U .S (D major) .A.
I'm a freeborn (G major) man of the (A major) U .S (D major) .A. (D major) (D major)
You
