Intro

D G D Bm A D

DI am Kilrain and I'm a fightin' man and I come from County CGlare

And the Brits would hang me for a FDenian so I took me leave of tBmhere

And I crDossed the ocean in the "Arrianne", the vilest tub aGfloat

And the captain's brother was a railroad mDan and he met us at the Bmboat

So I Ajoined up with the 20th Maine lGike I said my friend I'm a fighting Aman

And we're Dmarchin' sEmouth in the poF♯muring raGin

We're Aall goin' down to DDixieland

DI am Kilrain of the 20th Maine and we fight for ChamberGlain

'Cause he stood right with us when the JDohnnies came like a banshee on the Bmwind

In the sDmoke smeared hell of Gettysburg many a mother Gwept

For many a good boy dDied there, sure, and the air smelt just like Bmdeath

I aAm the Kilrain of the 20th Maine and I Gmarched to hell and back aAgain

For DColonel EmJoshua F♯mChamberGlain -

we're Aall goin' down to GDixieland

I Dam the Kilrain of the 20th Maine and I damn all gentleGmen

Whose only worth is their father's Dname and the sweat of a workin' Bmman

Well we Dcome from the farms and the city streets and a hundred foreign Glands

And we spilled our blood in the battle's hDeat Now we're all BmAmericans

I aAm the Kilrain of the 20th Maine did I Gtell you friend I'm a fightin' Aman

And I'll Dnot be Emback this F♯mway agGain,

'cause we're Aall goin' down to DGixieland
