the gallows tree swung
The [C]noble hearted [G]three
By the vengeful tyrant [Em]stricken

[Em]For they thought of [Am]hearts
[D]that loved them

And their friend[D]s in dear old
[G]Ire[C]land[G]

Climbed they up the rugged stair Rang [C]their
voices out in prayer
Then [G]with England's
fatal cord

Kissed like brothers lovingly
[C]True to home and[G] faith and
Freedom to the [D]last[G][C][G]

Never [G]to the latest day shall
Their [C]memory pass [G]away
Of the gallant lives thus
[Em]given for our [Am]land[D]
But [G]on the cause must go, 'midst the joy
[C]The weal and woe[G]
Till we make our Isle a na[D]tion
free and [G]grand[C][G]
