[Gb] And Ulster man, I am proud to be [Ebm] from Manson Town, all [Gb] my life I have faced the stormy [Ebm] sea, till I followed my people round.
[Gb] I have heard the marshal trump of men, [B] I [Gb] was [Abm] am quite [Db] and I, [Gb] and I all will remember [Db] when [Abm] I [Ebm] followed him joy.
[Gb] I, I bowed from out the sea [Ebm] and I did her sails away, [Gb] I cast my net upon the tree [Ebm] and I scanned the moonlit bay.
[Gb] The boys were out and the rest stood still, [B] I [Gb] bid [Abm] my wife [Db] goodbye, [Gb] the shade of a green wood [Ebm] blade I followed.
[Gb] And [Ebm] they tore our ranks apart, [Gb] but the sword and pike we fought all night, [Ebm] till half our ranks did fall.
We [Gb]
lost our land, [B] but [Gb] [Abm]
[Db] [Gb] Mark was strong, in the dashed trunk [Ebm] that followed, and we died [Gb] in Belfast town.
[Bbm] [Ebm] [Bbm]
[Ebm] [Gb] We watched them come, as the beat of a drum, [Ebm] I tore [Bbm] my [Ebm] sister [Gb]
and went along, [B] he [Abm] bid us [Db] all goodbye, [Gb] my God we died.
I turned [Ebm] and cried, they murdered [Bbm] [Ebm] me, we died.
