Bb5 Eb5

And so the story's told of a hearty group of men

Eb5 F5

it's a tale of their triumphs and their woes.

Bb5 Eb5

Be it raids and melees ancient or the modern worker's struggle

F5 Eb5 Bb5

that inspires men to stand up for their rights.

And should we fall down by the wayside in this ever-changing world

we can look back to these heroes of our past.

With their staunch determination and ferocious iron will,

no tyranny would quell them in their task.

It's an age-old situation with an ever-present message:

that time and tide waiteth for no man.

So without fear of confrontation of the consequence of outcome,

it's for freedom and for happiness they toiled.

An in looking to the future, we can see a better place where

we can shake the yoke of tyranny for all.

It's been paved by generations who have gone now to their rest.

It's just remembrance of their dignity we ask.

Eb5 Bb5

So come on rally round this brave and valiant

Bb5 G5

cause with tradition, pride, and honor at its core.

Bb5 Eb5 Bb5

With swords drawn to defend stood stood these noble-hearted men

Eb5 F5 Bb5 Eb5 F5 Bb5

Faugh-an-ballagh, clear the way, me boys!!

Under perilous conditions with small hope of success

they left behind the lives that they once led

and by virtue of their fortitude and single-minded strength

they cleared the way for the people of today

so when we think back to our ancestors respectfully we hark

and thank the men whose struggle broke the chain

it's a long road up ahead of us let's forge on while we're strong

and leave our mark of honor once again

So come on rally round this brave and valiant

cause with tradition, pride, and honor at its core.

With swords drawn to defend stood stood these noble-hearted men

Faugh-an-ballagh, clear the way, me boys!!

So the story has been told and it comes now to an end.

It's setting any era, any land.

When abusive tyrants force the hands of matters great or small,

it inpires men to stand up for their rights.

So come on rally round this brave and valiant

cause with tradition, pride, and honor at its core.

With swords drawn to defend stood stood these noble-hearted men

Faugh-an-ballagh, clear the way, me boys!!
