At the rising of the moon,

For the pikes must be together

at the rising of the moon

D 
And come tell me Sean O'Farrell,

where the gathering is to be

At the old spot by the river
A

quite well known to you and me
One more word for signal token,

whistle out the marching tune

Verse 3
D 
Out from many a mud walled cabin
A 
eyes were watching through the night
G 
D 
Many a manly heart was beating
A 
D 
for the blessed morning's light
Murmurs ran along the valley
A 
to the banshee's lonely croon

And a thousand pikes were flashing
A

by the rising of the moon

By the rising of the moon,

by the rising of the moon

And a thousand pikes were flashing

by the rising of the moon

Verse 4
D 
All along that singing river,
A 
that black mass of men was seen
G 
D 
High above their shining weapons
A 
D 
flew their own beloved green
Death to every foe and traitor,
A 
whistle out the marching tune
G 
D 
And hoorah me boys for freedom
A 
D 
'tis the rising of the moon

Chorus 4

'Tis the rising of the moon,

'tis the rising of the moon

And hoorrah me boys for freedom

'tis the rising of the moon
