When the father of fair Emer
 Bb majorBb    C majorC      DmDm
Refused to give her to wed
  DmDm        C majorC
Cú Chulainn tore his castle down

When he battled next 3 spears were thrown
  Bb majorBb          A augmentedA
And one tore through his skin

   DmDm        C majorC

    Bb majorBb    C majorC    DmDm
By his guts and belt he hung
