[C#] [D#m]
[G#] [F#] [C#] [G#] [C#]
Oh, come tell me, Sean O'Farrell, tell me why [G#] you hurry so.
[F#] Hush me, Boogle, [C#] hush and listen, [G#] and his cheeks were [C#] all adlow.
I bear [A#m] orders from the [C#] Captain, make you [G#] ready quick and soon,
[F#] For the pikes must be [C#] together by the rising of the moon.
By [A#m] the rising of the moon, by [G#] the rising of the moon,
[F#] For the pikes must [C#] be together by the rising of the moon.
Oh, [A#m] then tell me, Sean O'Farrell, where the [G#] gathering is to be.
[F#m] In the old spot [C#] by the river, right well known to you and me.
[A#m] One word more for signal token, whistle [G#] up the marching tune,
[F#] For your pike upon [C#] your shoulder by the rising of the moon.
[A#] By the rising of the moon, [G#] by the rising of the moon,
[F#] For your pike upon [C#] your shoulder by the rising of the moon.
Oh, to many a mud wall cabin eyes were [G#] watching through the night.
[F#] Many a manly [C#] heart was throbbing for the coming morning light.
Rumours [A#m] ran along the valley [G#] like the banshee's lonely crew.
[F#] And a thousand [C#] pikes were flashing [G#] by the rising [C#] of the moon.
[A#] By the rising of the moon, [G#] by the rising of the moon,
[F#] And a thousand [C#] pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon.
All [A#m] along the singing river [C#] that dark [G#] mass of men was seen.
[F#] Far above their [C#] shining weapons hung their own beloved green.
[A#m] Debt to every foe and traitor, [G#] forward strike the marching tune.
[F#] And our army boys [C#] for freedom, till [G#] the rising [C#] of the moon.
Till [A#] the rising of the moon, [G#] till the rising of the moon,
[F#] And our army [G#] boys [C#] for freedom, [F#] till the rising [C#] of the moon.
