God Save Ireland

C
"God save Ireland," said the heroes
G
"God save Ireland," said they all
        C                          
Whether on the scaffold high or the
 F               C
 battlefield we die
                         G         
Oh, what matter when for Erin dear 
    C
we fall?

[Verse]
C                                 
High upon the gallows tree swung 
   F             C
the noblehearted three
By the vengeful tyrant stricken in 
      G
their bloom
         C                         
But they met him face to face with 
    F                C
the courage of their race
                           G       
And they went with souls undaunted 
         C
to their doom

[Chorus]
C
"God save Ireland," said the heroes
G
"God save Ireland," said they all

[Verse]
C                                 
Climbed they up the rugged stair, 
           F             C
rang their voices out in prayer
Then with England's fatal cord 
            G
around them cast
       C                      
Close beside the gallows tree, 
             F              C
kissed like brothers lovingly
                           G       
True to home and faith and freedom 
        C
to the last

[Verse]
C                                 
Never 'till the latest day shall 
    F           C
the memory pass away
Of the gallant lives thus given for 
     G
our land
            C                     
But on the cause must go, amidst 
F                C
joy and weal and woe
                             G     
'Till we make our Isle a nation 
       C
free and grand
