[D]At

[Verse 1]
Boolavogue, as [G]the sun [D]was setting
O'er the bright May meadows
[Em]of S[G]helmalier,
[D]A rebel hand set the [G]heather blazing
[D]An d brought the neighbours
from [Asus4]far and n[G]ear.
Then [D]Father Murphy,
from [G]old Kilcor[D]mack,
Spurred up the rock with a warn
[Em]ing [G]cry;
[D]'Arm! Arm!' he cried,
'for I've [G]come to lead [D]you,
For Ireland's freedom we fight
[Asus4]or die.'[D][G]

[Verse 2]
[D]He led [C]us [D]on [G]'ga[D]inst
[G]the coming soldiers,
And [D]the cowardly Yeomen
we [Em]put t[G]o flight;
'Twas [D]at the Harrow the
[G]boys of Wexford
[D]Showed Bookey's Regiment
[Bm]how [D]men could figh[G]t
Look [D]out for hirelings,
King [G]George of England,
Search [D]ev'ry kingdom where
[Em]breathes [G]a slave,
For [D]Father Murphy from
[G]the County Wexford
Sweeps [D]o'er the [Bm]land
like [D]a mighty wave.

[Verse 3]
[D]At[Em][D][G][D][G][D][Bm][A]
[G]Vin[E]egar Hill,
o'er the [A]pleasant Slaney,
Our [E]heroes vainly stood [F#m]back to b[A]ack,
And the [E]Yeos at Tullow took
[A]Father Murphy
And [E]burned his [C#m]body upon
[Bsus4]the rack.[B][A]
God [E]grant you glory, brave [A]Father Murphy
And [E]open heaven [F#m]to all
[A]your men;
[E]The cause that called you may [A]call tomorrow
In [E]an other [C#m]fight for [B]the Green again.
