[Intro:]
D A G D A D
D A
And come tell me Sean O'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so
G D A D
Husha buachaill hush and listen and his cheeks were all a glow
D A
I bear orders from the captain, get you ready quick and soon
G D A D
For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon
[Chorus:]
D A
At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon
G D A D
For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon
D A
And come tell me Sean O'Farrell, where the gath'rin is to be
G D A D
At the old spot by the river quite well known to you and me
D A
One more word for signal token, whistle out the marchin' tune
G D A D
With your pike upon your shoulder at the rising of the moon
[Chorus:]
D A
At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon
G D A D
With your pike upon your shoulder at the rising of the moon
D A
Out from many a mud wall cabin eyes were watching through the night
G D A D
Many a manly heart was beating for the blessed morning light
D A
Murmurs rang along the valleys to the banshees lonely croon
G D A D
And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon
[Chorus:]
D A
By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon
G D A D
And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon
D A
All along that singing river that black mass of men was seen
G D A D
High above their shining weapons flew their own beloved green
D A
Death to every foe and traitor! Whistle out the marching tune
G D A D
And hoorah, me boys, for freedom, 'tis the rising of the moon
[Chorus:]
D A
Tis the rising of the moon, 'tis the rising of the moon
G D A D
And hurrah, me boys, for freedom, 'tis the rising of the moon
