[Intro 1]
[Em][Am][Em][Am][Em][Am][Em]
[Am][Em][Am][Em]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Have [Am]you
ever walked the lone[Em]some hills and [Am]heard the curlews [Em]cry?
[Am]Or seen the raven [Em]black as night
[Am]upon a windswept sky?
To walk the purple heather and
hear the [Em]westwind cry
[Am]To know that's where the
[Em]rapparee [Am]must die

[Verse 2]
Since Cromwell pushed us [Em]westward
to live [Am]our lowly [Em]lives
Some [Am]of us have deemed [Em]to fight from
Tipper[Am]ary mountains high
Noble men with wills [Em]of iron
who are [C]not afraid [G]to die
[Em]And who'll fight[Am] with Gaelic
[Em]honor held [Am]on high

[Verse 3]
A curse [Am]upon you Oliver [Em]Cromwell,
you who [Am]raped our Mother[Em]land
I [Am]hope you're rotting [Em]down in hell
for the [Am]horrors that you sent
To our misfortunate fore[Em]fathers whom
[C]you robbed of their birth[Em]right
"To hell or [Am]Connaught"
may you [Em]burn in hell tonight

[Verse 4]
[Am]Of one such man I'd like to spea[Em]k
a rappar[Am]ee by name and d[Em]eed
His family dis[Am]possessed [Em]and slaughtered
they put a [Am]price upon his head
His name is known in song and [Em]story
and his [C]deeds are legends [Em]still
And [Am]murdered for blood [Em]money
was [Am]young Ned of the hill

[Verse 5]
And you've robbed our homes and [Em]for tunes,
even [Am]drove us from the land
[Em]You [Am]tried to break our spirit[Em]
but [Am]you'll never understand
The love of dear old [Em]Ireland
that [C]will forge an iron [Em]will
As [Am]long as there are gal[Em]lant men
like [Am]young Ned of the hill

[Verse 6]
[Am]
A curse upon you Oliver Crom[Em]well,
you who [Am]raped our Mother[Em]land
I [Am]hope you're rotting [Em]down in hell
for the [Am]horrors that you sent
To our misfortunate forefathers
whom you [C]robbed of their birthright
[Em]"To hell or Connaugh[Am]t" may you burn [Em]in hell tonigh[Am]t
