Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
A minorAm G+G
I was born on a Dublin street, where the royal drums did beat
A minorAm
And the loving English feet they walked all over us
C majorC G+G
And every single night, when my father came home tight
A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
He awoke the neighbours outside with his chorus
Chorus:
A minorAm G+G
Come out you Black´n´Tans, come out and fight me like a man
A minorAm
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
C majorC G+G
Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away
A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra
Verse 2:
A minorAm G+G
Come let us hear you tell, how you slammed the great Parnell
A minorAm
How you fought him well and truely persecuted
C majorC G+G
Where were your sneers and jeers that you loudly let us hear
A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
When our heroes of sixteen were executed
Chorus:
A minorAm G+G
Come out you Black´n´Tans, come out and fight me like a man
A minorAm
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders

A minorAm G+G
Come tell us how you slew them oul arabs two by two
A minorAm
Like the zulus they had spears and bows and arrows

How bravely you faced one with your brandnew pumpgun
A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
And you frightened the poor natives to their marrow
Chorus:
A minorAm G+G
Come out you Black´n´Tans, come out and fight me like a man
A minorAm
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
C majorC G+G

From the green and lovely lanes of Killashandra
Verse 4:
A minorAm G+G
Now the time is running fast and I think the days are here
A minorAm
When each f*ck*ng English yoeman, he runs before us
C majorC G+G
And if there'll be a need, then our kids will sing "God speed!"
A minorAm G+G A minorAm G+G A minorAm
