[Verse 1]
G              C               Em           D
Danny's in the corner and he's waiting all alone
    G                  C                Em           D
But something's on him feeling feels he hasn't got a hope
    G           C               Em           D
But over on the North side it's all about to hit
G N.C.                                 G
No one realizes what's about to happen here

[Verse 2]
G         C              Em             D
Mary's in familiar ways about to drop a kid
    G           C             Em            D
Her [?] sipping gravy from an empty biscuit tin
    G               C           Em           D
The brotherhood are gathered to sake it to appear
    G          C           D             G
The citizens divided, only want us to be heard
 
 
[Refrain]
G                           C                      D
But there was Clarke, James Connolly, Plunkett and Pearse
G          Em      C               D
Ceannt, MacDonagh, Diarmada had no fear
G          C                Em           D
Volunteers together, insurrection they believed
      G           C              D               C
Could be the only answer, oh, to hear our nation sing
 
 
[Chorus]
          G       C
This is a song of liberty
        G              C
Yeah, together rise in unity
G               C              D
One man falls, united we shall be
               N.C.    G Em C  G Em C
This is a song of liberty
 
 
[Verse 3]
    G               C              Em         D
The casualties were mounting out inside the GPO
          G                C               Em              D
There was nothing left but rubble with the burning and the smoke
   G              C              Em               D
Kilmainham may be waiting, their fate against the wall
G                   C             D                C
Execute their empty body, all you did was free our souls
 
 
[Chorus]
          G       C
This is a song of liberty
        G              C
Yeah, together rise in unity
G               C              D
One man falls, united we shall be

                                            Em                 D
Don't forget the men and women, 'twas their blood for you they shed
  G               C         Em              D
Remember pearl of Donny and there we will abroon
      G                   C               D             G

By its valor and discipline and by the readiness of its children
                                                 G
To sacrifice themselves for the common good you
