Verse:
D
Out from many a mud wall cabin
          Asus2
Eyes were watching through the night
       G               D
Many a manly heart was beating
        Asus4           D
For the blessed morning light
D
Murmurs rang along the valleys
       Asus2
To the banshee's lonely croon
      G                   D
And a thousand pikes were flashing
       Asus4         D
By the rising of the moon

All along that singing river

That black mass of men were seen
      G                  D
High above their shining weapons
           Asus4       D
Flew their own beloved green
 D
"Death to every foe and traitor!
        Asus4
Whistle out the marching tune
     G                   D
And 'Hurrah', my boy for freedom

At the rising of the moon"
