Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
The Dying Rebel
| C | F | C |
The | night was dark and the | fight was | over, |
| C | F | C |
The | moon shone | down O'Connell | Street, |
| Am | C | F | C |
I | stood alo | ne,where | brave men | perished, |
| C | G | F | C |
Thoes | men have | gone,their | God to | meet. |
(Chorus)
My only son was shot in Dublin,
Fighting for his country bold,
He fought for Ireland,and Ireland only,
The harp the shamrock,green white and gold,
The first I met was a grey haird father,
Searching for his only son,
I said old man,sure it's no use searching,
For up to heaven,your son has gone.
The old man cried out broken hearted,
Bending low I heard him say,
I knew my son was too kind hearted,
I knew my son would never yield.
The last I met was a dying rebel,
Kneeling or I heard him say,
God bless my home,in dear Cork City,
God bless the cause for which I die.
