-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.
