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