Verse 1
(G major) (D major) (G major) We'll sing a song,
a (C major) soldier's (G major) song
With (E minor) cheering, (B minor) rousing chorus (D major)
As (G major) round our blazing fires (C major) we throng (G major)
The starry (D major) (A major) heavens (D major) o 'er us
Impa (C major) tient for (D major) the com (G major) ing fight,
And as (B minor) (E minor) we wait the morning's (D major) light,
Here (G major) in the silence of (C major) the night, (B minor)
We will (G major) chant a (D major) soldier's (G major) song
Soldiers are we,
whose (C major) lives are pledged (A minor) to (G major) Ireland.
Some have (B minor) (E minor) come from a (A major) land
beyond the (D major) way,
sworn (G major) to be free.
No more (C major) our (A minor) ancient sire (G major) land
Shall shelter (B minor) the (D major) despot (A major) or the (D major) slave
Tonight (A minor) we (D major) man the (G major) barn o' whale
In (B minor) their (E minor) runes (B minor) cast (E minor) a (D major) low war whale
With can (G major) nons roar and (C major) rifles bead (B minor)
We'll (G major) chant a (D major) soldier's (G major) song
In (D major) valley (G major) green, our (C major) tarry crag (G major)
Our fathers (E minor) fought (B minor) before (D major) us
And (G major) conquered neath the
(C major) same old flag (G major)
That's (D major) proudly floating (A major) (D major) o 'er us
We're (A minor) children of (D major) a (G major) fighting race
That never (B minor) (E minor) yet has (D major) known disgrace
And (G major) as we march, the (C major) foe to face
(B minor) We (G major) will chant the (D major) soldiers' (G major) song
Soldiers are we,
whose (C major) lives are (A minor) pledged to (G major) Ireland.
Some have (B minor) (E minor) come from a (A major) land beyond the (D major) wave,
(G major) sworn to be free.
No more (C major) our (A minor) ancient sire (G major) land
Shall shelter (B minor) the (D major) despot (A major) or the (D major) slave
Tonight (A minor) we (D major) man the barn (G major) of wealth
In (B minor) er rands (E minor) caused on (D major) woe or wealth
With (G major) cannons' roar and (C major) rifles'
(B minor) We'll chant (G major) a (D major) soldier's (G major) song
Sons of the Gael, men (C major) of the (G major) pail
The long (E minor) -watched (B minor) day is breaking (D major)
The (G major) seared ranks of (C major) any's (G major) fail
Shall set (D major) the (A major) tyrant quaking (D major)
Our (A minor) campfires (D major) now are burn (G major) (D major) ing low
(G major) See (B minor) in (E minor) the east a (D major) silvery glow
Out yonder (G major) waits the (C major) Saxon foe, (B minor)
(G major) So chant the (D major) soldier's (G major) song.
Soldiers are we
Whose (C major) lives are pledged (A minor) to (G major) Ireland
Some have (B minor) come (E minor)
From a (A major) land beyond the (D major) way
Sworn (G major) to be free
No more (C major) our (A minor) ancient sire (G major) land
Shall shelter (B minor) the (D major) despots (A major) or the (D major) slave
Tonight (A minor) we (D major) man the part (G major) of wealth
In (B minor) er rands (E minor) caused on (D major) warward
Let (G major) cannons roar and (C major) rifles (B major) peal
We will (G major) chant the (D major) Soldier's (G major) Song
