[Cm] [Bb] [Cm]
I was born in a Dublin street [Gm] where the [Bb] royal drums do beat
[Cm] And the loving English feet they tramped all over us
[Eb] And each and every [Bb] night when me father'd come home tight
[Cm] He'd invite [Gm] the neighbours outside with [Cm] this chorus
Up and out ye blackened tans, [Bb] come out and fight me like a man
[Cm] Show your wife how you were mad as stone and [Gm] [Cm] flanders
[F] [Eb] Tell them how the IRA made [Bb] you run like hell away
From the [Cm] green [Bb] and lovely lanes [Cm] in Killishandra
Come let me hear you tell how [Bb] you slammed the brave [Cm] Parnell
When you thought him well and truly persecuted
[A] [Eb] Where are the sneers and jeers [Bb] that you bravely let us hear
[Cm] When our [Bb] heroes of sixteen were [Cm] executed
Up and out ye blackened tans, come out and [Bb] fight me like a man
[Cm] Show your wife how you were mad as stone and [Gm] [Cm] flanders
[Eb] Tell them how the IRA made [Bb] you run like hell away
[Cm] From the green [Bb] and lovely lanes in [Cm] Killishandra
[Bb] Come
[Cm] tell us how you [Bb] sued them poor Arabs two by two
[Cm] Like the Sioux they had spears and bows and arrows
How you bravely faced each one with [Bb] your sixteen pounder gun
[Cm] And you frightened them [Bb] poor natives [F] to their [Cm] marrow
Up and out ye blackened tans, come [Bb] out and fight me like a man
[Cm] Show your wife how you were mad as stone and flanders
Tell them [Eb] how the IRA [Gm] made you run [Bb] like hell away
From [Cm] the green [Bb] and lovely lanes [Cm] in Killishandra
The day is coming fast [Bb] and the time is here at last
When [Cm] each yawning will be cast aside before us
[Eb] And if there be a need, [Bb] sure my kids will sing Godspeed
[Cm] With a verse [Bb] or two of Stephen [Cm] Beale's chorus
Up and out ye blackened tans, come [Bb] out and fight me like a man
[Cm] Show your wife how you were mad as stone and flanders
Tell them [Eb] how the IRA [Bb] made you run like hell away
From [Cm] the green and [Bb] lovely lanes in [Cm]
[Gm] [Cm] Killishandra
