Jesse Ferguson – Come Out Ye Black And Tans chords

[Verse]
      Am                                G              EmI was born on a Dublin street where the Royal drums do beat,
       Amand the loving English feet they tramped all over us.
    C                            G                   EmAnd each and every night when me Dad would come home tight
      Am                   G               Amhe'd invite the neighbours outside with this chorus:


[Chorus]
Am                                         G              EmCome out, ye black and tans; come out and fight me like a man!
AmShow your wives how you won medals down in Flanders.
           C                   G              EmTell them how the IRA made you run like hell away,
          Am               G              Amfrom the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra.

[Verse]
Am                                   G       EmCome, tell us how you slew them poor Arabs two by two:
Amlike the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows.
        C                                G            EmTell us how you slew each one with your sixteen-pounder gun
Am                            G              Amand you frightened them poor natives to the marrow.

[Chorus]
Am                                         G             EmCome out, ye black and tans; come out and fight me like a man!
AmShow your wives how you won medals down in Flanders.
           C                    G            EmTell them how the IRA made you run like hell away,
          Am               G              Amfrom the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra.


[Verse]
Am                                     G                EmCome on, let us hear you tell how you slaughtered great Parnell.
AmHow you fought them well and truly persecuted.
      C                                    G             EmWhere are those sneers and jeers that you bravely let us hear
         Am           G             Amwhen our heroes of sixteen were executed.


[Chorus]
Am                                         G              EmCome out, ye black and tans; come out and fight me like a man!
AmShow your wives how you won medals down in Flanders.
          C                     G            EmTell them how the IRA made you run like hell away,
         Am                G              Amfrom the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra.


[Verse]
Am                                    G               EmWell, the day is coming fast, and the time is here at last
Amwhen each yeoman will be cast aside before us.
    C                          G                  EmAnd if there be a need sure my sons will sing, "Godspeed!"
        Am              G                Amwith a verse or two of Stephen Beehan's chorus.



[Chorus]
Am                                         G              EmCome out, ye black and tans; come out and fight me like a man!
AmShow your wives how you won medals down in Flanders.
           C                    G             EmTell them how the IRA made you run like hell away,
