[Em] Come all ye [G] gallant [A] heroes, [Em] along with [D] me combined, [E] I'll sing [Em] a song, it won't take long, of the fight in sixty-nine.
[G] They're a band of men [D] brave, stout and bold, [Em] from Ireland [D] they [Em] came, and they have a leader to the fore, MacCochran was his name.
It [E] was in the month [G] of [D] April, [Em] when the boys, they [D] sailed away, and [E] they made a sight [G] so [D] glorious, [Em] as they [D] marched along [Em]
Broadway.

the war.
So [G] we gave them [D] hearty cheers, me boys, [Em] which was greeted [D] with a smile, [Em] singing here's the [G] vice, but fear [D] no lies, [Em] we're the fight in sixty -nine.
And when the war [G] is [D] said and done, [Em] may heaven [D] spare our lives, [Em] for it's only then that we can return to our loved [D] ones and [Em] our wives.
[G] We'll take them in [D] our arms, me [Em] boys, for a long night and [D] a day, and [E] we'll hope that war [G] will come [Em] no more to sweet [D]
[Em] America.
