[C#] _ _ _ _ I see _ others and some have lived, so [F#] I read [C#] the memories [A#m] I've missed in [D#m] that _ [G#] drive. _
[C#] Those names I've eluded, _ no [F#] I've been here [C#] at night school [G#] since [C#] I've _ died. _ _
Forgetting that the boys have [F#] killed my _ little [C#] dog, for every boy's [A#m] a gallant [D#m] and true.
_ [G#] _ _
[C#] Old _ Fortnite, the green flag of _ _ [F#] Highland, _
[C#] _ conquered [G#] the red, white [C#] and blue. _ _
On the _ twentieth day of _ _ [F#] November, _ [C#] the Tans left [A#m] the town of [D#m] _ Motone.
[G#] _ _
[C#] Never seated in so classly _ _ [F#] tenders as [C#] they hurried [G#] along to [C#] their doom. _ _
Never on the high road to [F#] kill my little, _ [C#] they never _ [A#m] expected [D#m] to _ [G#] starve. _
[C#] They met with some very bold _ _ [F#] crime, [C#] that made the [G#] Tans sweep on [C#] them _ all. _ _
Forgetting that the boys have [F#] killed my _ little [C#] dog, for every boy's [A#m] a gallant [D#m] and true.
[G#] _ _
[C#] Old _ Fortnite, the green flag of _ _ [F#] _ Highland, [C#] _ conquered [G#] the red, white [C#] and blue. _ _ _

[C#] _ _ _ _ _
The lorries crowed before _ _ [F#] Twilight _ [C#] and the high order [A#m] of Don _
[D#m] Magneto.
_ [G#] _ _
[C#] Their battles were raised in triumph, _ [F#] _ _
[C#] to show that [G#] the Tans had [C#] gone low. _ _ _
They gathered their rifles [F#] and _ _ bayonets, [C#] and then of no [A#m] delay so [D#m] obscure.
_ [G#] _ _
[C#] They never grew there till they _ [F#] hunted _ [C#] at the battle [G#] where camped the [C#] _ Glenore. _ _ _
Forgetting that the boys have [F#] killed my little _ [C#] dog, for every boy's [A#m] a gallant [D#m] and true.
_ [G#] _ _
[C#] Old Fortnite, the green flag of _ _ _ [F#] Highland, _
[C#] _ conquered [G#] the red, white [C#] and blue. _ _ _
Some of us _ were _ [F#] sinking, _ [C#] and evil [A#m] was falling [D#m] from the _ [G#] sky. _
[C#] The Tans never _ eagerly _ _ [F#] waited, _ [C#] never did so [G#] despatch, where [C#] they lay. _ _
And over the hills went [F#] the _ echo, _ [C#] the peal of [A#m] the rifle [D#m] and gun.
[G#] _ _
[C#] The smocks and the lorries heard, _ [F#] hiding that [C#] the boys have [G#] killed my little head [C#] one. _ _ _ _
Forgetting that the boys have killed [F#] my _ little [C#] dog, for every boy's [A#m] a gallant [D#m] and true.
_ [G#] _ _
[C#] Old Fortnite, the green flag of _ _ [F#] Highland, _ _
[C#] conquered the [G#] red, white [C#] and blue. _ _ _
So here stood the boys that killed [F#] my little girl, [C#] for every boy's [A#m] a gallant [D#m] and true.
_ [G#] _ Old [C#] _ Fortnite, the green flag of _ _ [F#] Highland, _
