             Em             G            Em        G
           A-plucking young nettles, nor saw I was coming
             Em         C            A7           D
           I listened a while to the song she was humming

               Em           G                Em             G
           and strong manly forms, and their eyes with hope gleaming
             Em        C                   A7          D
           I see them again, sure, through all my days dreaming

            Em          G               Em          G
           Awoke by the glenside sounds awesome and thrilling
                    Em             C               A7            D
           But they loved dear old Ireland, and to die they were willing
                 Em       Bm        B7   C  D7  Em

               Em            G             Em          G
           And wise men have told us their cause was a failure
                    Em           C           A7           D
           But they stood by old Ireland and never feared danger
                 Em       Bm        B7   C  D7  Em

                  Em             C              A7         D
           And we may have great men, but we'll never have better
                 Em       Bm        B7   C  D7  Em
           Glory O, Glory O, to the bold Fenian men!
