Come Out Ye Black And Tans Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Guitar melody]
[Am]I was born on a Dublin street
where the [G]Royal drums the beat
And those [Am]loving English feet
they walked all over us
And [C]every single night
when me [G]da' would come home [Em]tight
He'd in[Am]vite the neighbors [G]out with this [Am]chorus

[Chorus 1]
Come [Am]out ye black and tans,
come out and [G]fight me like a man
Show your [Am]wife how you won medals
down in Flanders
Tell her [C]how the IRA
made you [G]run like hell a[Em]way
From the [Am]green and lovely [G]lanes
of Killas[Am]shandra

[Verse 2]
Come [Am]let us hear you tell
how you [G]slandered great Parnell
When you [Am]fought them well
and truly persecuted
Where [C]are the sneers and jeers
that you [G]loudly let us [Em]hear
When our [Am]leaders of six[G]teen were exe[Am]cuted

[Chorus 2]
Come [Am]out ye black and tans,
come out and [G]fight me like a man
Show your [Am]wife how you won medals
down in Flanders
Tell her [C]how the IRA
made you [G]run like hell a[Em]way
From the [Am]green and lovely [G]lanes
of Killas[Am]shandra

[Verse 3]
Come [Am]tell us how you slew
them old [G]Arabs two by two
Like the [Am]Zu lus they had spears,
and bow and arrows
How [C]bravely you faced one
with your [G]16-pounder [Em]gun
And you [Am]frightened them
damn [G]natives to their [Am]marrow

[Chorus 3]
Come [Am]out ye black and tans,
come out and [G]fight me like a man
Show your [Am]wife how you won medals
down in Flanders
Tell her [C]how the IRA
made you [G]run like hell a[Em]way
From the [Am]green and lovely [G]lanes
of Killas[Am]shandra

[Verse 4]
Now the [Am]time is coming fast
and I [G]think them days are here
When each [Am]English yeoman
he'll run before us
And [C]if there'll be a need
then our [G]kids will say "God[Em]speed"
With a [Am]verse or two of
[G]singing this fine [Am]chorus

[Chorus 4]
Come [Am]out ye black and tans,
come out and [G]fight me like a man
Show your [Am]wife how you won medals
down in Flanders
Tell her [C]how the IRA
made you [G]run like hell a[Em]way
From the [Am]green and lovely [G]lanes
of Killas[Am]shandra
