The _ _ _ [Cm] yard lay still [Eb] in morning [Gm] rain [Cm] Where freedom [Eb]
paid [Bb] its price in pain
[Ab] No crowds to cheer, [Cm] no bands to play [Gm] Just dawn and death [Eb] were steps [Cm] away
_ _ Each name was called in [Cm] morning gray [Bb]
Pierce stood tall [Cm] with words [Eb] to say
[Cm] _
Cunnily bound yet would not yield [Ab] His stretcher faced [Bb] the [Cm] soldier's steam _
_ _ _ _ The walls were thick [Eb] but truth still [Gm] climbed [Cm] They could not cage [Bb] the rebel mind
They aimed to end [Cm] a nation's claim [Gm] But crowned it bright [Bb] in [Cm] Ireland's name
_ Each name was called in morning gray [Bb]
Pierce stood tall [Cm] with words [Eb] to say
[Cm] _
Cunnily bound yet would not yield [Ab] His stretcher [Bb] faced [Gm] the [Cm] soldier's steam _
_ _ _ _ The sentry flinched, [Eb] his stance went [Gm] stiff [Cm] The priest read slow [Bb] from sacred scripts
No traitor's shame, [Cm] no bandits near [Gm] They faced the guns [Bb] without [Cm] one fear
_ Each name was called in morning gray [Bb]
Pierce stood tall [Ab] with words [Eb] to say
[Cm] _
Cunnily bound yet would not yield [Ab] His stretcher [Bb] faced [Gm] the [Cm] soldier's steam _

_ _ _ Their mothers wept _ behind [Gm] closed doors The [Eb] children [Bb] whispered rebel lore
[Cm] From prison yard to market stall [Gm] Their dying breath [Bb] became [Cm] our call
_ Now rain still taps on rusted gates [Bb] Like mourners come [Ab] a century [Eb] late
[Cm] Their ghosts don't cry, they simply wait [Ab] For us [Bb] to rise [Gm] or share [Cm] their fate _
