The Man From Mullingar

F             Bb                
Well you can talk and write and 
F                  C             
 boast about your  Fenains and 
       C
your  clans.
 C                     C          
And how the boys from County Cork 
                  C
beat up the Black And Tans.[Song]
     F               Bb           
And view a little codger who came 
    F          C
out without a scar.
C                    C           
His name was Paddy Mulligan, the 
           F
Man from Mullingar.


[Chorus]
       F                     
The peelers chased him out of 
     C
Conne-marra
        F                      
For beating up the valiant Stan 
 C
O’Hara.
     Bb                F        
And  when Patrick came to 
Bb              F
Ballymote he stole the parsons’  car
 C                                 
And he sold it to the bishop in the
        F
 town of Castle-bar.
        F                          
Oh, seven hundred peelers couldn’t 
        C
 catch him! catch him !
       F                           
The  king sent out an order for to 
     C
lash him!  lash him !
       Bb         F               
When Paddy came to Dublin town he 
  Bb         F
stole an armoured  car
   C                               
And he gave it to the IRA Bri-gade 
     F
in Mullin-gar.


[Verse 2]
       Bb                        F
On Easter Monday morning when the 
                  C
boys declared a sound
    C                              
Paddy raised the flag of war down 
            C
in his native town.
   F               Bb            
First he went out to make his 
F                   C
peace with dear old Father Maher
C                                 
He went and blew the barracks up, 
            F
and the half of Mullingar.

[Verse 3]
 Bb                        F      
Well the Peelers got their orders 
          C
to suppress the man on sight.
C                           C
So they sent for reinforcements 
through the county left and right.
C                                 
Three thousand men surrounded him,
        F
 they hunted near and far.
C                                 
But he was with the IRA brigade in
        F
 Johnson's motorcar.

[Verse 4]
  Bb                            
And when Ireland takes her place

among the nations of the world
   C                     C        
A flag of orange, white and green 
                    C
to the fore winds is unfurled.
   F                    Bb        
You’ll read the roll of honour and
           F                  C
 you’ll find with a marked scar.
  C
