Verse 1
(D major) (G major) The moon it shone down
on old Dub (C major) lin town
(D major) when the deadly fight was (G major) o 'er.
Thou (D major) sands lay on the (G major) cold, ground, (D major)
their lives to claim them (G major) o 'er.
The moon (D major) shone down on O
(G major) 'Connor Street, (D major)
Where a dying young rebel (G major) lay,
With his body gashed and his
arm (C major) s (D major) outstretched,
And his life's blood flown away. (G major)
A passing com (D major) rade
harrowed the mourns,
The sufferer soon was (G major) found.
(D major) Softly, gently, raised his head up from the cold,
ground. (G major)
(D major) Softly, gently, comrade, (G major) he cried, (D major)
no longer on earth can I (G major) stay.
I will never more roam
to my own native home,
(D major) it's to prairie so far (G major) away.
His comrades gathered (D major) around him
To bid him a last farewell. (G major)
He (D major) was as true and as brave
A lad that ever in battle fell. (G major)
They dug (D major) a grave, and (G major) in it they (D major) laid
The (A major) bones of (D major) Chantresy so (G major) brave.
He will never more run
to his own native home
(D major) To prairies so far (G major) away.
