Verse 1
(D major) In the town of Tomb Ridge,
in 1798,
a young man was hanged
because he was a leader of the
rebellion in that part of the country.
His name was Roddy McCullough.
(G major)
(D major) (G major) (D major) (B minor) (G major) (A major)
They come (D major) with vengeance
in (G major) their (D major) eyes,
Too late, (G major) too late, (B minor) are (A major) they,
For young (D major) Roddy Macaulay goes to die
On the (G major) bridge of Toon today. (D major)
On the narrow street he stepped,
(G major) Smiling proud (F sharp major) an (G major) d young, (D major)
About the hemp rope on (G major) his neck (D major) ,
The (B minor) golden ring that's (A major) clung,
There is (D major) never a teary in (G major) his blue eye (D major) s,
But (B minor) glad and bright are (A major) they,
As young (D major) Roddy McCormie goes to die
On the (G major) bridge (F sharp major) of (G major) June today.
(D major) When he last stared up that street,
his (F sharp major) shining (G major) Viking hand, (D major)
Behind him marched in grim (G major) array,
(D major) a (B minor) small borderless (A major) band.
For (D major) Antrim town, for (G major) Antrim town, (D major)
he (B minor) led them to the (A major) fray,
And young (D major) Roddy McCormley goes to die
On the (G major) bridge of tomb today (D major)
There is never a wonder of all your dead
While (G major) bravely felled in fray (D major)
And he who marches (G major) to his (D major) fate
On the (B minor) bridge of tomb today (A major)
True to (D major) the last, true to (G major) the (D major) last,
He (B minor) pledged the upward way, (A major)
And young (D major) Roddy McMorley was to (C sharp major) die
On the (F sharp major) bridge of (G major) Hoontoway. (D major)
That was Roddy McCauley.
