Verse 1
G 
C 
G 
Oh, we're off to Dublin in the green,
in the green.
C 
Our bayonets slithering in the sun.
G 
And the tans they flew like lightning
C 
to the rattle of a Thompson gun.
G 
I am a merry ploughboy,
C 
and I plough the fields all day,
G 
Till something came across my mind
C 
that I should run away.
G 
I've always hated slavery
C 
from the day that I was born,
G 
So I'm off to join the IRA,
C 
and I'm off tomorrow morn.
G 
For we're off to Dublin in the green,
in the green,
C 
Our bay nets littering in the sun,
G 
And the tans they flow like lightning to
C 
The rattle of a Thompson gun.
G 
I leave behind my pick and spade,
C 
And I'll leave behind my plough
G 
And I'll leave behind my old grey mare
C 
For no more I'll need her now
G 
But I'll take my short revolver
C 
And my bandolier also
G 
And with my comrades by my side
C 
We'll face the foreign foe
G 
Oh, we're off to Dublin in the green,
in the green,
C 
Our bay nets flitterin' in the sun,
G 
And the tans they flow like lightning to
C 
The rattle of a Thompson gun.
G 
I leave behind my sweetheart,
C 
The one I do adore,
G 
And I wonder if she'll think of me
C 
When she hears them cannons roar
G 
And when the war is over
C 
And Ireland will be free
G 
I'll take her to the church to wed
C 
And a rebel's wife she'll be
G 
Oh, we're off to Dublin in the green,
in the green
G 
C 
Our bay that's liberal in the sun
G 
And the tans they flew like lightning
G 
to the rattle of a Thompson
C 
gun.
We're glad we could make it too.
