[Verse 1]
[D]Wrap the green flag 'round me, boy[G]s
To [D]die were far more [A]sweet
With [D]Erin's noble emblem, [G]boys
To [D]be my [A]winding [D]sheet
In [A]life I loved to see it [D]wave
And follow [G]where it [A]led
But [D]now my eyes grow dim, my [G]hand
Would [D]grasp it's [A]last bright [D]shred

[Verse 2]
So [A]wrap the green flag 'round me, [D]boys
To die were [G]far more [A]sweet
With [D]Erin's noble emblem, [G]boys
To [D]be my [A]winding [D]sheet

[Verse 3]
And [D]I had hopes to meet you, b[G]oys
On [D]many's the well-fought field
[A]field
When [D]to our sacred banner, [G]boys
[D]The [A]traiteous foe would [D]yield
But [A]now alas, I am [D]denied
My dearest [A]earthly prayer
You'll [D]follow and you'll meet the [G]foe
But [D]I shall n[A]ot be t[D]here

[Verse 4]
So [A]wrap the green flag 'round me, [D]boys
To die were [G]far more [A]sweet
With [D]Erin's noble emblem, [G]boys
To [D]be my [A]winding [D]sheet

[Verse 5]
And [D]though my body moulders, [G]boys
[D]My spirit will be [A]free
And [D]every comrade's honour, [G]boys
Will [D]yet be [A]dear to [D]me
And [A]in the midst of bloody [D]fight
Let not your [G]courage [A]lack
[D]For I'll be there and hovering [G]near
Be[D]neath [A]the dear old [D]flag

[Verse 6]
So [A]wrap the green flag 'round me, [D]boys
To die were [G]far more [A]sweet
With [D]Erin's noble emblem, [G]boys
To [D]be my [A]winding [D]sheet

[Verse 7]
So [A]wrap the green flag 'round me, [D]boys
To die were [G]far more [A]sweet
With [D]Erin's noble emblem, [G]boys
To [D]be my [A]winding [G]sheet
