Sean South From Garryowen Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

It was Gon a dreary new year's eve as the Cshades of Dnight came Gdown,

A lorry load of vColunteGers approchEmed the Cborder Dtown,

There was Gmen from Dublin Cand from GCork,EmFermanagh Cand TyDrone,

And their lGeader was a Limerick man CSean South from DGarryGowen

GAnd as they moved along the streets up Cto the baDrrack Gdoor,

They scorned the danger Cthey mightG face,the Emfate that Clay in Dstore,

They were Gfighting for old CIrelaGnd,toEm claim their Cvery oDwn,

And the fGoremost of that gallant band was SoutCh from DGarryGowen.

GBut the sergent foiled their daring plan,he Cspied them Dthrough the Gdoor,

Then the Sten guns and the Crifles a Ghail of Emdeath dCid Dpour,

And whGen that auful Cnight was Gpast,twoEm men lay as cCold as Dstone,

There was Gone from near the border,and Cone from DGarryoGwen.

GNo more he'll hear the seagull cry o're the mCurmuring DShannon Gtide,

For he fell beneath a CNorthern sGky,brEmave Hanlon Cby Ghis Dside,

They have Ggone to join that Cgallant Gband of EmPlunkett CPearse and DTone,

A Gmartyr for old Ireland,Sean CSouth from DGarryGowen
