SONG OF THE REBEL IRISH 4/4 For the version from the movie Gods and Genereals use capo on 2nd fret Oh, not (D)now for songs of a (A7)nation's (D)wrongs, not the groans of starving (A7)la(D)bor; Let the rifle ring and the (A7)bullet (D)sing to the clash of the flashing (G)sa(A7)bre! There are (D)Irish ranks on the (A7)tented (D)banks of Columbia's guarded (A7)oce(D)an; And an iron clank from (A7)flank to (D)flank tells of armed men in (G)mo(A7)tion. The (D)Irish green shall a(A7)gain be (D)seen as our Irish fathers (A7)bore (D)it, A burning wind from the (A7)South be(D)hind, and the Yankee rout be(G)fore (A7)it! O'(D)Neil's red hand shall (A7)purge the (D)landRain a fire on men and (A7)catt(D)le, Till the Lincoln snakes in their (A7)own cold (D)lakes Plunge from the blaze of (G)batt(A7)le. Whoe(D)'er shall march by tri(A7)umphal (D)arch Whoe'er may swell the (A7)slaugh(D)ter, Our drums shall roll from the (A7)Capi(D)tol O'er Potomac's fateful (G)wa(A7)ter! Rise, (D)bleeding ghosts, to the (A7)Lord of (D)Hosts For judgement final and (A7)sol(D)emn; Your fanatic horde to the (A7)edge if the (D)sword Is doomed line, square, and (G)co(D)lumn!
