I / took back my / hand and I / showed him the / door, /
   / F         / CG           / Bb             / C    /
No / dollar of / mine would I / part with this / day, /
    / F           / CG          / Bb           / F     /
For / fueling the / engine of a / bloody cruel / war , /
      / F            / Bb           / C    /
In my / forefathers' / home far a - / way. /
    / F              / C              / Bb            / F
Who / fled the first / Famine wearing / all that they /
       /
owned, /
     / F             / C           / Bb         / C     /
Were / called Navi - / gators, all / ragged and / torn, /  and
F               / C              / Bb          / F     /
Built the Grand / Trunk here and / found a new / home, /
       / F          / C             / F     / / /
Wher - / ever their / children were / born. / / /

/ F            / C         / Bb             / F     /  Their / sons have no / politics, / none can  re - / call, /
      / F            / CG               / Bb                / C     /
All - / egiance from / long gener - / ations be -  / fore, /
       / F                / CG                     / Bb           / F    /
Oh, / this war or / that name can't / matter at / all, /
     / F                    / Bb                / C      /
Or / be cause e - / nough for to / war, / and.
F                       / C                 / Bb                / F           /
Meanwhile my / babies are / safe in their / homes, /
      / F                      / C                   / Bb              /
Un / like their Pale / cousins who / cower and /
C    /
cry, /
           / F                      / C                      / Bb                / F       / /
While / knee-cappers / nail their poor / Dads to the / floor, / / and
F                       / C                 /  F    / / /
Teach them to / hate and to / die. / / /

F                       / C                    / Bb                   / F      / /
It's those cruel / beggars who / spurn the fair / coin, / /
       / F                         / CG                    / Bb                / C    /
The / Peace for their / kids they could / take at their / will, /
                 / F                    / CG           / Bb                 / F           / /
Since the / day old King / Billy pre - / vailed at the / Boyne, / /
              / F                                 / Bb                               / C        / /
They've / bombed and they've / maimed and they've / killed. / /
                 / F               / C                 / Bb             / F        / /
Now they / cry out for / money and / wail at the / door, / / but
F                              / C               / Bb       / C           /
Home Rule or Re - / public, 'tis / all of it / shame, /  and
    / F                  / C                       / Bb             / F      / /
A / curse for us / here who want / nothing of / war, / /
           / F                / C                 / F         / / /
We're / kindred in / nothing but / name. / / /
