[E] [F#m] [E]
Oh, now Ireland is a very funny place, sir, [A] It's a strange and a troubled [E] land,
And the Irish are a bloody funny race, sir, [F#m] Every girl's in the [C#m] common man.
[E] Every doggy has a tricolour ribbon, [A] Tied firmly to his [E] tail,
[A] And I wouldn't be [G#m] surprised if there'd be another race,
[E] Said the man from the Daily Mail.
Every bird upon my word [C#m] is singing,
I'm a rebel, [E] I'm a rebel,
Every hen in jade is laying hand grenades [F#] over there, sir,
[B] I declare, sir, [A] and every [G#m] cock in the farmyard stock
[F#m] Goes a-try them [B] for the gale,
[A] And I wouldn't be [E] surprised if there'd be another race,
Said the man from the Daily Mail.
Well, the other day I ventured down the clare, sir,
[A] And I spied an [E] old boreen,
Such a squad of right and busy ganders there, sir,
[F#m] Dressed in orange, [C#m] white and green,
They [E] marched to the German goose step,
[A] And they whistled, [E] run you will,
[A] And I'm shaking in my [E] shoes as I'm sending out the news,
Said the man [B] from the Daily Mail.

Every bird upon my word [C#m] is singing,
I'm a rebel, I'm a rebel,
[E] Every hen in jade is laying hand [F#] grenades over there, sir,
[B] I declare, sir, [A] and every [G#m] cock in the farmyard stock
[F#m] Goes a-try them for [B] the gale,
[A] And I wouldn't be surprised [E] if there'd be another race,
Said the man [B] from the Daily [E] Mail.
Well, the whole place is seeding with sedition,
[A] It's Sinn [E] Féin through and through,
All the parisais are joining local units,
[F#m] And the password's Sinn [C#m] Féin too.
[E] Every doggy has a tricolour ribbon,
[A] Tied firmly to his [E] tail,
[A] And I wouldn't be [G#m] surprised if there'd be another race,
[E] Said the man [B] from the Daily Mail.
