Verse 1

For the cause of liberty (G major)
Verse 2
But a (G major) lad of eighteen summers
Yet no true man can deny (A minor) (D major)
As he (A minor) walked to (D major) death that morning
He proudly held his head on (G major) high

And other things they wished (A minor) to know
Turn in (D major) former or we'll kill you

Verse 6
Another martyr (G major) for old Erin
Another murder for the crown (D major)
The British (A minor) laws may crush the (D major) Ir ish
But cannot keep their spirits down
