D                                 
I am Kilrain and I'm a fightin' 
                          G
man and I come from County Clare
And the Brits would hang me for a 
 D                            Bm
Fenian so I took me leave of there
        D                     
And I crossed the ocean in the 
                             G
"Arrianne", the vilest tub afloat
And the captain's brother was a 
          D                       
railroad man and he met us at the 
Bm
boat
     A                             
So I joined up with the 20th Maine 
 G                                 
like I said my friend I'm a 
  A
fighting man
          D         Em        
And we're marchin' south in the 
    F#m     G
pouring rain
      A                 D
We're all goin' down to Dixieland

D                                 
I am Kilrain of the 20th Maine and
                     G
 we fight for Chamberlain
'Cause he stood right with us when 
     D                             
the Johnnies came like a banshee on
     Bm
 the wind
        D                   
In the smoke smeared hell of 
                          G
Gettysburg many a mother wept
                     D         
For many a good boy died there, 
sure, and the air smelt just like 
 Bm
death
   A                               
I am the Kilrain of the 20th Maine 
      G                         A
and I marched to hell and back again
    D       Em     F#m    G
For Colonel Joshua Chamberlain -

I am the Kilrain of the 20th Maine 
                     G
and I damn all gentlemen
Whose only worth is their father's 
D                               Bm
name and the sweat of a workin' man
        D                          
Well we come from the farms and the
 city streets and a hundred foreign 
G
lands
And we spilled our blood in the 
          D                
battle's heat Now we're all 
 Bm
Americans
   A                               
I am the Kilrain of the 20th Maine 
      G                            
did I tell you friend I'm a 
  A
fightin' man
         D      Em        F#m   G
And I'll not be back this way again,
             A                
'cause we're all goin' down to 
  D
Dixieland
