Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh [C]I a[F]m a[C] merry ploughboy[G]
And I [F]plough the [G]feilds all [C]day
'Till a [G]sudden thought came to my mind
That I should roam [C]away

[Verse 2]
For im [C]tired of this [G]civilian life
Since the [F]day that [G]I was b[C]orn
So im [G]off to join the IRA
And im off tomorrow [C]morn'

[Verse 3]
And were [C]all off to Dublin [G]in the green
Where the [F]helmets [G]glisten in [C]the sun
Where the [G]bay'nets clash and rifles crash
To the echo of the thompson [C]gun

[Verse 4]
I'll [C]leave aside my [G]pick and spade
I'll [F]leave [G]aside my [C]plough
Oh ill [G]leave aside my horse and yoke
For no more I'll need them [C]now

[Verse 5]
And I [C]leave aside my [G]MAry
She is the [F]girl I [G]do ad[C]ore and I [G]wonder if
She thinks of me when she
Hears that canon [C]roar

[Verse 6]
And we're [C]all off to Dublin in the [G]green
In the green
Where the [F]helmets [G]glisten in [C]the sun
Where the [G]bay'nets flash and
The riffles crash
To the rattle of a Thompson [C]gun

[Verse 7]
And [C]when the war is [G]over
And [F]dear old [G]Ireland is [C]free
I'll [G]take her to the church to wed
And a rebel's wife she'll [C]be[G]
[F]Well some men fight for [G]silver and
[C]Some men fight [G]for gold
But the IRA are fighting for the
Land that the Saxons [C]stole[F]
[C]And we're

[Verse 8]
all off to Dublin in the [G]green
In the green
Where the [F]helmets [G]glisten in [C]the sun
Where the [G]bay'nets flash and
The riffles crash
To the rattle of a Thompson [C]gun
