[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][Am]
[G][C]

[Verse 1]
I [C]am Kilrain and I'm a fightin' man
And I come from County [F]Clare
And the brits would hang me for a [C]fenian
So I took me leave of [Am]there
And I [C]crossed the ocean in the "Arrianne"
The vilest tub a[F]float
And the captain's brother was a [C]railroad man
and he met us at the [Am]boat
So [G]I joined up with the 20th Maine
Like I [F]said my friend I'm a [G]fighting man
And we're [C]marchin' [G]south in the [C]pouring [F]rain
And we're [G]all goin' down to [C]dixieland

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][C][Am]
[G][C]

[Verse 2]
I [C]am Kilrain of the 20th Maine
And we fight for Chamber[F]lain
'Cause he stood right with us
When the [C]johnnies came
like a banshee on the [Am]wind
When the [C]smoke cleared out of Gettysburg
many a mother [F]wept
For many a good boy [C]died there, sure
And the air smelted just like [Am]death
I [G]am Kilrain of the 20th Maine
And I'd [F]march to hell and [G]back again
For [C]colonel [G]Joshua [C]Chamber[F]lain
We're [G]all goin' down to [C]dixieland

[Interlude 2]
[C][F][C][Am]
[C][F][C][Am]
[G][C]

[Verse 3]
I [C]am Kilrain of the 20th Maine
And I damn all gentle[F]men
Whose only worth is their [C]father's name
And the sweat of a workin' [Am]man
Well we [C]come from the farms
And the city streets
and a hundred foreign [F]lands
And we spilled our blood in the [C]battle's heat
Now we're all Ameri[Am]cans
I [G]am the Kilrain of the 20th Maine
And did I [F]tell you, friend, I'm a [G]fightin' man
And I'll [C]not be [G]back this [C]way a[F]gain
'Cause we're [G]all goin' down to [C]Dixieland

[Outro 1]
[C][F][C][Am]
[C][F][C][Am][G][C]
[Repeat and fade]
