THE SOLDIER'S SONG
(Amhran Na Bhfiann)

[C]We'll sing a [G6]song, a [F]soldier's [C]song:
With [F]cheering, [C]rousing [G]chorus
As [C]round our [G]blazing [F]fires we [C]throng:
The [G]starry [D]heavens [G]o'er us,
Im-[F]patient [G7]for the [C]coming fight;
And [G]as we [Em]wait [D7]the [G]morning's light
[G7]here [C]in the [G]silence [F]of the [Em]night;
[D7]We'll [C]chant a [G7]soldier's [C]song.

chorus:-

[C]Soldiers are we; Whose [F]lives are pledged to [C]Ireland
Some [Em]have [Am]come; From a [D]land beyond the [G]wave,
[C]Sworn to be free; No [F]more our ancient [G]sire-land
Shall shelter the [Em]despot [D7]or the [G]slave
To-[Dm]night we [G7]man the [C]"bhearna bhaoil":
In [Em]Erin's [F]cause, [D7]come [G]woe or [G7]weal,
Mid [C]cannons' [G]roar and [F]rifl-[E]es' peal;
[D7]We'll [C]chant a [G]sol-[G7]dier's [C]song

In valley green, on towering crag; Our fathers fought before us
And conquered 'neath the same old flag; That's proudly floating o'er us
We're children of a fighting race; That never yet has known disgrace
And as we march the foe to face; We'll chant a soldier's song

chorus

Sons of Gael! Men of the Pale!; The long watched day is breaking
The serried ranks of Inisfail; Shall set the tyrant quaking,
Our camp fires now are burning low; See in the east a silv'ry glow
Out yonder waits the Saxon foe; So chant a soldier's song

chorus
