thee well for awhile
                   D          Am  
And all around the borders of

Erin's green isle

                      Am           
Now our good ship was ready at the 
D              G
dawning of the day
                 D                 
From lovely Enniskillen, they were 
Am           D
marching us away
     G            D               
They put us all onboard a ship to 
Am               D
cross the raging Main
       G              Am          
For to fight a bloody battle in 
  D             G
the sunny land of Spain

[VERSE 2:]
                   Am          
Now, Spain it is a gallant land 
       D                 G
where wine and ale flow free
                      D       
There's many a lovely women to 
 Am             D
dandle on your knee
    G        D                  
And often an alehouse, we would 
Am               D
make the rafters ring
     G             Am         
When every soldier in the house 
        D                   G
would raise his glass and sing


[CHORUS:]
D         G         Am          
Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare
      D         G

[VERSE 3:]
                        Am         
We fought for Ireland's glory there
     D              G
 and many a man did fall
                     D          
From musket and from bayonet and 
      Am               D
from thundering cannonball
    G             D            Am
And many a foeman we laid low 
             D
amid the battle throng
       G               Am         
And as we prepared for action, you
       D               G
 would often hear this song


[CHORUS:]
D         G         Am          
Fare thee well Enniskillen, fare

                          Am       
And well, now, the war is over and 
    D                G
for home we have set sail
                      D            
And the flag upon our lofty ship is
 Am                D
 fluttering in the gale
          G          D          
They have given us a pension of 
Am          D
fourpence a day
         G             Am         
And when we reach Enniskillen, 
   D                  G
never more we'll have to say
