Listen, we have a little song, [A] it's a little bit of fun, we want you all to join in and have a crack with this one.
[F] Because the song tells the story of the great resident Irish people, you see.
And the story is called
You'll Never Beat the [G] Irish!
[D#m] Come on everybody, come [Em] on!

[G] In 1167 [C] they came to Ireland on the make
[D] They were followed by invasions, by [G] conquests in the wake
The kings and queens of England [C] made a land of battleground
They left the land by for the [D] feet, wives and mother and the [Em] sheep
Carna, [F#m] randa, bog of all [C] in the wake, sheep and steedling, diddly-add [Em]-a-day
Duck [F#m] and dive and bog of all [C] in the wake, [Bm] diddly-add-a-low, [Em] diddly-add-a-day
[E]
[G] That by the 15th century [C] the hell precariously could appale
[D] The invaders were more Irish [G] than the Irish that's appale
But when you became old [C] Henry's knit, put rigor down his brain
Forced the reformation, [D]
confiscating usurpation
[G] And you'll never beat the Irish club
[C] No matter what you do
Or [D] you cut us down
And keep us out
But we'll come [G] back again
No more to fear
You know we are the fighting Irish
[C] And we fight until the end
You [D] know you shall not, no, you'll never beat [G] the Irish
[Em]
Carna, [F#m] randa, bog of all in [C] the wake, sheep and [Bm] steedling, diddly-add-a [Em]-day
Duck and [D] dive and bog of all in [C] the wake, [E] diddly-add-a-low, [Em] diddly-add-a-day
Carna, [Bm] randa, bog of all in [C] the wake, sheep and [Bm] steedling, diddly-add [Em]-a-day
Duck and [F#m] dive and bog of all [C] in the wake, diddly-add-a [Em]-low, diddly-add-a-day
[D] [G]
The virgin queen Elizabeth [C] brought more time isle to her land
[D] She does a maid that's monstrous, [G] scores she heirs and all attend
James the horse and Charles the [C] man brought other greedy bands
Rock the land of Ulster, [D] kill the chief, cause pirates come [Em] nor
Carna, [F#m] randa, bog of all [Em] in the wake, sheep and [Bm] steedling, diddly-add-a [Em]-day
Duck and [F#m] dive and bog of all in [C] the wake, [Bm] diddly-add-a-low, [Em] diddly-add-a-day
[G] My father defected titles to [C] cheated, con up and the west
[D]
Was the seventh century, [G] from the war we had no rest
The customs now well paid the [C] land, till the towns were never blood
The battle of the vine was [D] fought, winging plagues and furrowed [G] hoards
You'll never meet the Irish, [C] no matter what you do
You [D] can cut us down and keep us out, but we'll come back [G] again
You know we are the fighting Irish, [C] and we fight until the end
You [D] know you shall not, you'll never meet [G] the Irish
[Em] Randa, [D] randa, bog of all in the [C] wake, sheep and [Bm] steedling, diddly-add-a [Em]-day
