[Bb]
My name is [Gm] George Campbell [F] at the age [Bb] of eighteen.
[Gm] I fought for old [Eb] Erin, her rights [Bb] to maintain.
[Gm] And many's the battle I did [Bb] undergo, with the hero commander, [Am] brave General [Bb] Munro.
Munro took the mountains, the boys took the field.
[Gm] He swore to these tyrants he never would yield.
But the noise of their cannons ne [Bb]'er dumped us so.
Why not my brave [G] boys, bright General [Eb] Munro?
[Bb] It was on a wide plain, our [Gm] foes they did stand.
A full thirteen thousand was at their command.
Their [Eb] cavalry guarded by [Bb] entrenchment also, but defeated they were [D] by General [Bb] Munro.
Here's to help the Lady Moira, and long may she reign.
[Gm] We fought our last battle all in her domain.
We fought the maid, ours beat them true and foe.
Commanded by the [Dm] hero, brave General [Eb] Munro.
[Gm] Munro being tired and want of a sleep, gave a woman ten [Eb] guineas, his secret to [Bb] keep.
For when she got the money, the devil tempted her so, that she sent for the soldiers and [Am] surrendered [Bb] Munro.
Munro he was taken, he was placed in a hall.
[D] It's for his dear [Dm] life that those tyrants did call.
They dared it, condemned him and [Eb] lead him [Bb] away.
Stuck his head on a high [F] spear that very same [Bb] day.
His last words to friends as we did understand, never [Gm] yield until they freed their land.
Never be daunted at the strength [Bb] of your foe, till you claim your [G] freedom cried General [Eb] Munro.
[Gm] It's in came [Dm] his sister, [Eb] she was [Bb] dressed all in green.
[D] With a sword by her [Eb] side that was both sharp [Fm] and keen.
[Gm] Giving three hearty cheers and away she did go, [Cm] saying I'll have [F] revenge for my brother Munro.
[Bb]
[Eb]
[Bb] Here's a help to [Gm] each [Fm] hero for whom [Bb] freedom did stand.
May their souls rest in peace those who died for our land.
Remember the martyrs that were slain by the foe, brave Emmett, [F] Fitzgerald and Henry [Eb] Munro.
[Bb] All you good men who listen, just think of the fate of the brave men who died in the year 98.
For our dear [Gm] stole Ireland would be [Bb] free long ago, ever son for all rebels [F] like [Eb] Henry Munro.
