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