|Bb5    |Eb5    |Eb5    |F5     |
|Bb5    |Eb5    |F5 Eb5 |Bb5    |

    Bb5                      Eb5
And so the story's told of a hearty group of men 
       Eb5                              F5
it's a tale of their triumphs and their woes. 
      Bb5                             Eb5
Be it raids and melees ancient or the modern worker's struggle 
     F5              Eb5                Bb5
that inspires men to stand up for their rights. 

And should we fall down by the wayside in this ever-changing world 
we can look back to these heroes of our past. 
With their staunch determination and ferocious iron will, 
no tyranny would quell them in their task.

It's an age-old situation with an ever-present message: 
that time and tide waiteth for no man. 
So without fear of confrontation of the consequence of outcome, 
it's for freedom and for happiness they toiled. 

An in looking to the future, we can see a better place where 
we can shake the yoke of tyranny for all. 
It's been paved by generations who have gone now to their rest. 
It's just remembrance of their dignity we ask.

   Eb5                      Bb5
So come on rally round this brave and valiant 
Bb5                                           G5
cause with tradition, pride, and honor at its core. 
     Bb5               Eb5                    Bb5
With swords drawn to defend stood stood these noble-hearted men 
         Eb5                F5      Bb5     Eb5  F5  Bb5
Faugh-an-ballagh, clear the way, me boys!!

Under perilous conditions with small hope of success 
they left behind the lives that they once led 
and by virtue of their fortitude and single-minded strength 
they cleared the way for the people of today 

so when we think back to our ancestors respectfully we hark
and thank the men whose struggle broke the chain 
it's a long road up ahead of us let's forge on while we're strong 
and leave our mark of honor once again

So come on rally round this brave and valiant 
cause with tradition, pride, and honor at its core. 
With swords drawn to defend stood stood these noble-hearted men 
Faugh-an-ballagh, clear the way, me boys!!

|Bb5    |Eb5    |Eb5    |F5     |	
|Bb5    |Eb5    |F5 Eb5 |Bb5    |

So the story has been told and it comes now to an end. 
It's setting any era, any land. 
When abusive tyrants force the hands of matters great or small, 
it inpires men to stand up for their rights.

So come on rally round this brave and valiant 
cause with tradition, pride, and honor at its core. 
With swords drawn to defend stood stood these noble-hearted men 
Faugh-an-ballagh, clear the way, me boys!!
