[Verse 1]
[Am]In the year of one thousand
seven hundred and ninety- eight
A sorrowful tale,
the truth unto you I'll relate
Thirty- six her[Dm]oes t[Am]o the world
they were left to be seen
By a false information were
shot on Dunlavin Green

[Verse 2]
Bad [Am]luck to you, Saunders,
for you did their lives betray
You said a parade would be
held on that very same day
Our drums, they did rattle, our fifes,
they did sweetly [Em]play[Am]
Surrounded we were [C]and privately
marched [Am]away

[Verse 3]
Quite [Am]easy they led us like
prisoners through the town
To be shot on the plain,
we first were forced to kneel down
Such grief and such sorrow were nev
[Asus4]er before there [G]seen[Asus4][G]
[Am]When the blood ran in the streams down
the dykes [C]of [Am]Dunlavin Green

[Verse 4]
[Am]
There is young Matty Farrell who has
[G]plenty [Am]of cause to complain
Likewise the two Duffys who were
[G]shot down [Am]upon[G] the p[Am]lain
[Dm]Young Andy Ryan,
his [Em]mother [E]distracted[Am] will run[Esus4][Em]
For the [Am]loss of [F]her darling, her [Em]only be[Dm]loved son

[A]Some [Am]of our boys

[Verse 5]
to the hills,
they are going away
Some of them shot and more of
them going to [A]sea
[Asus4]Michael Dwyer in the m[Am]ountains t[A]o Saund[Asus4]ers,
[Am]he owes a spleen
For loss of his brothers who were shot
on Dunlavin Green
[A]Bad luc[Am]k to you, Saunders,

[Verse 6]
bad luck may you never shun
[A]May the wid[Am]ow's curse melt you
like [G]snow in [Am]the noonday sun
[Dm]Cries of the orphans,
[Em]their mur[E]murs [Am]you can[Esus4]not scree[Em]n
For the [A]loss [Am]of their father[F]s who were shot
[Esus4]on Dunlav[Em]in Gr[D]ee[Dm]n
[D]In the

[Verse 7]
[A]year [Am]of one thousand

A sorrowful tale,
the truth unto you I'll relate
[Dm]Thirty- six heroes to the [Am]world they
were left [G]to be [Asus4]seen[G]
By a [Am]false information were
[C]shot [Am]on Dunlavin Green
