Irish folk song

Key: G

Time: 3/4

-5   -8   -7  -8 7-8-8

The strug-gle is o-ver

-5   6    7  -6* 6   -5

The boys are de-feat-ed

-5  -8    -7   -8    7   -8

Old Ire-land’s sur-round-ed

 -5   6   -7  -8    -7

With sad-ness and gloom

-8  -7  -8  7   -8

We were de-feat-ed

-5    6    7 -6*   6   -5

And shame-ful-ly treat-ed

-4  5  -5   6  -5-9-9

And I, Rob-ert Em-met

-8 -7   7  -7  7

A-wait now my doom

 -8    -7   -8   7    -8

Hung, drawn and quar-tered

  -5  6    7 -6*  6   -5

Sure that was my sen-tence

-5   -8 -7  -8   7    -8

But soon I will show them

-5  6  -7  -8 -7

No cow-ard am I

-7  -8   -7 -8   7

My crime is the love

-8 -5   6   7 -6*  6   -5

Of the land I was born in

-4 5 -5 6 -5 -9

A he-ro I lived

-9 -8 -7 7   -7   7

And a he-ro I’ll die

 -8  -7  -8  7  -8

Bold Rob-ert Em-met

-5   6   7  -6*  6   -5

The dar-ling of Ire-land

 -8  -7  -8  7  -8

Bold Rob-ert Em-met

 -5   6   -7 -8   -7

Will die with a smile

 -8   -7  -8   7   -8

Fare-well com-pan-ions

 -5   6  7  -6*  6  -5

Both loy-al and dar-ing

 -4   5   -5  6  -5-9

I’ll lay down my life

-9  -8  -7 7  -7   7

For the Em-er-ald Isle.
