[Verse 1]
[Am]Down from the glen[C5] came
the marchin' [Am]men
With their [C]shields and [G]their swords.
[Am]To fight t[G]he fight they beli[C5]eved to be right,
[Am]
Overthrow the over[G]lord[E]s.[Am]
To the towns [G]where there

[Verse 2]
[C]was [C5]plenty[C]
[Am]They brought plunder,
[C]sword[G]s and [Am]flames.
When they left, the [G]town [C]was empty,
[Am]And the children would never play [E]again.

[G][Am]
From the graves [G]I heard

[Verse 3]
[C]the [Am]fallen
Above [C]the [G]bat[Am]tlecry.
By that [G]bridge near [C]the border,
[Am]There was many more to d[E]ie.

[Verse 4]
[Am]And onward o[G]ver the mountain[C]s,
[Am]And out toward[G]s
[Am]the sea.
[G]They come to [C]flame the emeralds,
[Am]
Without it they could [E]not leave.
