Verse 1
(C major) 'God save Ireland!' said the heroes
(G major) 'God save Ireland' said they all
Whether (C major) on the scaffold high
Or the (F major) battlefield we die
(C major) Oh, what matter when for
(G major) Erin dear we (C major) fall!
Verse 2
High upon (C major) the gallows tree swung
the (F major) noble- hearted Three (C major)
By the vengeful tyrant
stricken in their (G major) bloom
But they (C major) met him face to face,
with the (F major) courage of their (C major) race
And they went with souls un
(G major) daunted to their (C major) doom

Climbed they (C major) up the rugged stair,
rang their (F major) voices out in (C major) prayer
Then with England's fatal

kissed like (F major) brothers lovingly (C major)
True to home and faith and
(G major) freedom to the (C major) last

Never (C major) till the latest day shall

Of the gallant lives thus given for our (G major) land

Till we make our Isle a na
(G major) tion free and (C major) grand
