[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Ah, then tell me Sean O'Farrell
Em
Tell me why you're hurrying so
Am C
Hush, my boy, oh, hush and listen
E Am Em Am
And his eyes were all aglow
Em Am C
I bear orders from the captain
Em Am Em
Get you ready quick and soon
Am Em C
For the pikes must be together
E Am
At the rising of the moon
[Verse 2]
Ah, then tell me Sean O'Farrell
Em
Where the gatherin' is to be
Am C
In the old spot by the river
E Am Em Am
Right well known to you and me
Em Am C
One thing more for signal token
Em Am Em
Whistle up the marchin' tune
Am Em C
With your sword upon your shoulder
E Am
At the rising of the moon
[Verse 3]
Em Am C
Rumours passed along the valley
Em Am Em
Like a banshee's lonely croon
Am Em C
And a thousand blades were flashin'
E Am
At the rising of the moon
[Verse 4]
All along the singing river
Em
That dark mass of men were seen
Am C
Far above their shining weapons
Em Am Em Am
Hung their own immortal green
E Am Em Am
Death to every foe and traitor
Em Am Em
Foreign strike the marchin' tune
Am Em C
And hurrah me boys for Ireland
E Am
Tis the rising of the moon
[Verse 5]
Well, they fought for poor old Ireland
Em
And full bitter was their fate
Am C
Oh, what glorious pride and sorrow
E Am Em Am
Fill the name of ninety-eight
Em Am C
Yet thank god while hearts are beating
Em Am Em
Foreign manhood's burnin' noon
Am Em C
We shall follow in their footsteps
E Am
At the rising of the moon
[Verse 6]
E Am Em Am
Death to every foe and traitor
Em Am Em
Foreign strike the marchin' tune
Am Em C
And hurrah me boys for freedom
Tis the rising
E Am
Tis the rising of the moon
