Abbey Tavern Singers - Off To Dublin In The Green Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

DI am a merry Aploughboy and I ploughed the fields all Dday.

Till a Asudden thought came into my head, that I should

roam aDway.

DFor I'm tired of Acivilian life, since the day that I was Dborn.

So, I&acAute;m off to join the I.R.A. and I´m oDff tomorrow morn.

Chorus

DSo, we´re off to Dublin' iAn the green, in the green,

where the helmets glisten in the Dsun.

Where the Abayonets flash and the rifles crash to the

echo of a Thompson DGun.

DOh, I leave behind my Aold gray home, I leave behind my Dplough.

And I Aleave behind my old gray mare, for no more I´ll neeDd 'em now.

DAnd I leave behind my AMary, she´s the one thDat I adore.

And I Awonder will she think of me, when she hears the rifles Droar.

Chorus

DSo, we´re off to Dublin' iAn the green, in the green,

where the helmets glisten in the Dsun.

Where the Abayonets flash and the rifles crash to the

echo of a Thompson DGun.

DOh, some men fight for Asilver and some men fight for Dgold.

But the AI.R.A. are fighting for the land the Saxons Dstole.

Chorus

DSo, we´re off to Dublin' iAn the green, in the green,

where the helmets glisten in the Dsun.

Where the Abayonets flash and the rifles crash to the

echo of a Thompson DGun.

DAnd when the war is Aover and dear old Ireland's Dfree.

I will Atake her to the church to wed, a rebel's wife she&acuDte;ll be.

Chorus

DSo, we´re off to Dublin' iAn the green, in the green,

where the helmets glisten in the Dsun.

Where the Abayonets flash and the rifles crash to the

echo of a Thompson DGun.

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
