Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: FIGHTING TIGERS OF IRELAND (Marum)
Copied from Jed Marum's TIGERS AND RIVER SONGBOOK:

Fighting Tigers of Ireland

Let me (D)tell you a tale of those (G)brave Irish (D)boys
Of the Sixth Luisi(A)an'
From New (D)Orleans to Richmond and (G)back a(G)gain
They fought and died for (A)all Dixie(D)land

Led by young Henry Strong who at (G)Sharpsburg (D)fell
He was proud and Irish (A)born
And then (D)bold Colonel Billy (G)Monag(D)han
Gave his life at (A)Shepards(D)town

Chorus:
They were (G)Irish born
They were (D)heroes all
And they fought for Luisi(A)an'
From New (D)Orleans to Richmond and (G)back a(D)gain
The fighting Tigers of (A)Ire(D)land

Last bit: Key change to E:

They followed (E)Jackson and Early and (A)Master Lee
And the (E)fiercest in all the (B7)land
On this (E)old Marshall Robert and (A)Grant agreed
Were the (E)men of the (B7)Sixth Luisi(E)an'

Chorus:

They were (A)Irish born
They were (E)heroes all
And they fought for Luisi(B7)an'
From New (E)Orleans to Richmond and (A)back a(E)gain
The fighting Tigers of (B7)Ire(E)land

Sweet Ellen Joyce

There is (D)hope once a(G)gain
(D)Carried on the (G)wind
And our (D)land will be (G)freed (A)from despair
For there's brave men and (G)true
(D)Marching off in (G)blue
Into (D)battle their (G)song (A)fills the (D)air

Chorus:
And I'm (G)leaving in the (D)morning light
With those (G)Massachusetts (A)boys
Fare-the-(D)well my old Achushnet (G)River (D)home
Fare-the-well my (A)Sweet Ellen (D)Joyce

Bridge: Bm A Am G
