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


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


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

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

[Verse 4]
  Bb                                F                     C
And when Ireland takes her place among the nations of the world
   C                     C                            C
A flag of orange, white and green to the fore winds is unfurled.
   F                    Bb                   F                  C
You’ll read the roll of honour and you’ll find with a marked scar.
  C                                            F
