Off to dublin in the green Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh, I am a merry [D]ploughboy and
I plough the fields all [G]day
Till [D]a sudden thought came to my head,
that I should roam [G]away
For I'm sick and tired of [D]slavery
since the day that I was [G]born
And I'm [D]off to join the IRA
and I'm off tomorrow [G]morn

[Verse 2]
And we're [G]all off to Dublin in [D]the green,
in the green
Where the helmets glisten in [G]the sun
Where the [D]bayonets flash
and the rifles crash
To the rattle of a Thompson [G]gun

[Verse 3]
I'll [G]leave aside [D]me pick and spade,
I'll leave aside [G]me plough
I'll [D]leave aside me horse and yoke,
I no longer need [G]them now
I'll leave aside me [D]Mary,
she's the girl that I ad[G]ore
And I [D]wonder if she'll think of me
when she'll hear the rifles [G]roar

[Verse 4]
And we're [G]all off to Dublin in [D]the green,
in the green
Where the helmets glisten in [G]the sun
Where the [D]bayonets flash
and the rifles crash
To the rattle of a Thompson [G]gun

[Verse 5]
And [G]when the war is [D]over and
dear old Ireland [G]is free
I'll [D]take her to the church to wed
and a rebel's wife she'll [G]be
Well, some men fight for [D]silver
and some men fight for [G]gold
But the [D]IRA are fighting for the land
that the Freestaters [G]stole

[Verse 6]
And we're [G]all off to Dublin in [D]the green,
in the green
Where the helmets glisten in [G]the sun
Where the [D]bayonets flash
and the rifles crash
To the rattle of a Thompson [G]gun
