Roddy McCorley Chords by The Kingston Trio

In Ireland, during their many revolutions, they always found someone to use as a hero.
One of these men was Roddy McCorley, who was taken to the Bridge of Tomb and there hanged.
His friends followed after him, but when they arrived, they were too late for Roddy was already dead.
_ And although this was many years ago, _ he still sang the song about him. _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ Oh, see the fateful host of men who [Ab] come with faces [Eb] won _
From Farnsford and from [Eb] _ Fisherscott, [Gm] along the banks [Bb] of land _
They [Eb] come with vengeance in their eyes, [Cm] too late, [Fm] too late [Bb] are they
Poor [Eb] young Roddy McCorley goes [Gm] to die on [Ab] the Bridge of [Eb] Tomb today _
Up the narrow street he stepped, [Ab] smiling proud [Eb] and young
_ About the hemp grow upon his neck, [Cm] the golden ring [Bb] less fun _
[Eb] There was never a tear in his blue [Gm] eyes, both glad and [Bb] bright were they
As [Eb] young Roddy McCorley goes [Cm]
to die on [Fm] the Bridge of [Eb] Tomb today _
_ When he last stepped up that street, _ [Ab] shining [Eb] light in hand
_ Around him, up in [Gm] grim array, a star-bought [Bb] furnace band _
[Eb] For Ronson Town, for Ronson Town, [Cm] he led them to [Bb] the fray
[Eb] As young Roddy McCorley goes to die [Ab] on the Bridge of [Eb] Tomb today
There is Mary, a woman of all young debt, [Bb] _ bravely fell [Eb] in fray
Then he who marches to his death [Cm] on the Bridge of Tomb [Bb] today _
[Eb] Through to the last, through to the last, [Cm] he led the awkward [Bb] _ way
As [Eb] young Roddy McCorley goes to die on [Ab] the Bridge of [Eb] Tomb today
As young Roddy McCorley goes [Cm] to die on _ [Gm] _ the Bridge [Eb]
of Tomb today _ _ _ _ _ _ _
