Come Out Ye Black And Tans chords by The Wolfe Tones

Chords with lyrics

I was [A minorAm] born in a Dublin street where the [G+G] loyal drums do beat
And the [A minorAm] loving English feet they tramped all over us
And [C majorC] each day and every night when my [G+G] father comes home tight
He'd [A minorAm] invite the neighbours [G+G] outside with this [A minorAm] chorus

[chorus]
Oh come[A minorAm] out ye Black and Tans, come out and [G+G] fight me like a man
Show your [A minorAm] wives how you won medals down in Flanders
Tell [C majorC] them how the IRA made you [G+G] run like hell away
From the [A minorAm] green and lovely [G+G] lanes in Kille[A minorAm]shandra


Come let [A minorAm] me hear you tell how you've [G+G] slung the brave Parnell
When you [A minorAm] thought him well and truly persecuted
Where [C majorC] are your sneers and jeers that you [G+G] loudly let us hear
When [A minorAm] our heroes of [G+G] '16 were [A minorAm] executed

Alan [A minorAm] Larkin and O'Brian held you [G+G] strong and called you swine
Robert [A minorAm] Emmett who you hung and drew and quartered
High [C majorC] upon the scaffold high, how you [G+G] butchered Henry Joy
And [A minorAm] the Croppy Boys of [G+G] Wexford you did [A minorAm] slaughter


Oh let me [A minorAm] hear you slew them poor [G+G] Arabs two by two
Like the [A minorAm] Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows
How [C majorC] you bravely faced each one with your [G+G] sixteen-pounder gun
And [A minorAm] you've frightened them poor [G+G] natives to their [A minorAm] marrows

(additional verse)
Well the [A minorAm] day is closing fast and the [G+G] time will soon be past
When each [A minorAm] dawning will be cast aside afore us
And [C majorC] if I be in need then me kids [G+G] will say godspeed
With [A minorAm] a bar or two of Stephen [G+G] Behan's [A minorAm] chorus
