Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
The Outlaw Raparee
| D | G | A | D |
My | spurs are rusted, my | coat is | rent, my | plume is damp with rain |
| G | A | D | Bm | G | A | D |
And the | thistle | down and the | barley | beard are | thick on my | horses | mane |
| G | Em | D | G | Em |
But my rifle's as | bright as my | sweetheart's | eye, my arm is | strong and | free |
| D | G | Em | D | A | D |
What | care have | I for your | king or | laws, I'm an outlawed | rappa | ree |
Chorus
D | A |
Lift your glasses friends with mine and give your hand to | me |
| G | D | Em |
I'm | England's | foe, I'm | Ireland's |
D | A | D |
friend, I'm an outlawed | rappa | ree |
| D | G | A | D |
The | mountain cabin | is my | home, up | high in the crystal air |
| G | A | D | Bm | G | A | D |
And my | bed of | limestone | iron | ribbed and the | brown heath | smelling | fair |
| G | Em | D | G | Em |
Let George or | William | only | send his troops to | burn or | loot |
| D | G | Em | D | A | D |
We'll | meet them | up on | equal | ground and we'll fight them | foot to | foot |
Chorus
D | G | A | D |
Hunted from out our | father's | home, pur | sued by steel and shot |
| G | A | D | Bm | G | A | D |
A | bloody | warfare | we must | wage or the | gibbet | be our | lot |
| G | Em | D | G | Em |
Hurrah! This | war is | welcome | work, the hunted | outlaw | knows |
| D | G | Em | D | A | D |
He | steps un | to his | country's | love o'er the corpses | of his | foes |
