This is one of my favorites. I only have the recording by Connie Dover when she was with Scartaglen, and even though I have listened to it many, many times It still makes me hate the Spaniards.

I have found the Gaelic lyrics online, but I would love to find chords and backstory on the song. Also, can anyone help a novice string-plucker with the opening riff...

dum dum dum dah-dah dum dum dum dum dum dah-dah dum dum, etc.

thanks
