[Verse]
    D                         Em
I remember the day, it stands clear 
in my mind
         A                    G   
We stood down by Dunlaoire to wave
     D
 you goodbye
D                                 
Your ma was quietly weeping, there
       Em
 was a tear in her eye
      A           A7            D
As we sent you to Gallipoli to die

              D                 
You looked so young as you stood 
          Em
there, a glint in your eye
        A                      
And you sang rebel songs as the 
 G              D
streamers flew high
D                       Em
Your ma turned away and I heard a 
sigh
           A          A7           
God you're sailing to Gallipoli to 
D
die

[Chorus]

D                             Em
You were all that we had your mammy 
and me
         A                         
When you marched head erect you 
  G              D
were proud as could be
       D                C         
And it killed your poor ma and 
                 Em
it's slowly killing me
                          A      
You were blown to kingdom come on 
     G                D
the shores of Gallipoli

[Verse]
        D                         
We only got the one letter and we 
Em
knew right away
        A                          
It said deepest regrets your son 
  G               D
was bold and he was brave
         D                     
You were only eighteen yet your 
 Em
mammy and I
        A     A7           D
Let you go to Gallipoli to die.

[Chorus]
D                             Em
You were all that we had your mammy 
and me
         A                         
When you marched head erect you 
  G              D
were proud as could be
       D                C         
And it killed your poor ma and 
                 Em
it's slowly killing me
                          A      
You were blown to kingdom come on 
     G                D
the shores of Gallipoli

[Verse]
           D                       
You fought for the wrong 
         Em
country,you fought for the wrong 
cause
         A                   
And your ma often said it was 
 G               D
Ireland's great loss
          D                        
All those fine young men who 
             Em
marched to foreign shores to fight 
the wars
         A               A7       
When the greatest war of all was 
  D
at home.

[Chorus] x2
D                             Em
You were all that we had your mammy 
and me
         A                         
When you marched head erect you 
  G              D
were proud as could be
       D                C         
And it killed your poor ma and 
                 Em
it's slowly killing me
                          A      
You were blown to kingdom come on 
     G                D
the shores of Gallipoli
