Chords with lyrics
Soken:
Sad are the homes around Garryowen, since they lost their gal land pride,
but the banshee cry, rings every vale along the Shannon side, that city of the
ancient walls, the broken treaty stone, on dying fame surrounds your name Sean
South From Garryowen.
G+G Cmaj G+G
It was on a dreary new year's eve as the shades of night came down,
Cmaj G/F# 
E minorEm Cmaj 
Am7Am7 
D MajorD
A augmentedA lorry load of volunteers approched the border town,
E/F#/G Cmaj G/F# E minorEm Cmaj Am7Am7 D MajorD
There was men from Dublin and from Cork,Fermanagh and Tyrone,
E/F#/G Cmaj G+G
And their leader was a Limerick man Sean South from Garryowen
G+G Cmaj G+G
And as they moved along the streets up to the barrack door,
Cmaj G+G G/F# E minorEm Cmaj Am7Am7 D MajorD
They scorned the danger they might face,the fate that lay in store,
E/F#/G Cmaj G/F# E minorEm Cmaj Am7Am7 D MajorD
They were fighting for old Ireland,to claim their very own,
E/F#/G Cmaj G+G
And the foremost of that gallant band was South from Garryowen.
G+G Cmaj G+G
But the sergent foiled their daring plan,he spied them through the door,
Cmaj G/F# E minorEm Cmaj Am7Am7 D MajorD
Then the Sten guns and the rifles a hail of death did pour,
E/F#/G Cmaj G/F# E minorEm Cmaj Am7Am7 D MajorD
And when that auful night was past,two men lay as cold as stone,
E/F#/G Cmaj G+G
There was one from near the border,and one from Garryowen.
G+G Cmaj G+G
No more he'll hear the seagull cry o're the murmuring Shannon tide,
Cmaj G/F# E minorEm Cmaj Am7Am7 D MajorD
For he fell beneath a Northern sky,brave Hanlon by his side,
E/F#/G Cmaj G/F# E minorEm Cmaj Am7Am7 D MajorD
They have gone to join that gallant band of Plunkett Pearse and Tone,
E/F#/G Cmaj G+G
A augmentedA martyr for old Ireland,Sean South from Garryowen
