Wolfe Tones – Come Out Ye Black And Tans chords

Come Out Ye Black and Tans (Guitar: Capo x 3)  (Banjo: G-Modal)
       [Am]                              [G] I was born in a Dublin street where the loyal drums do beat
        [Am] And the loving English feet they tramped all over us
         [C]                          [G] And each day and every night when my father comes home tight
       [Am]                [G]              [Am] He'd invite the neighbors outside with this chorus

[chorus]
       [Am]                              [G] Oh come out ye Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man
       [Am] Show your wives how you won medals down in Flanders
      [C]                          [G] Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away
       [Am]                [G]              [Am] From the green and lovely lanes in Killeshandra


Come let me hear you tell how you've slung the brave Parnell
When you thought him well and truly persecuted
Where are your sneers and jeers that you loudly let us hear
When our heroes of '16 were executed

Alan Larkin and O`Brian held you strong and called you swine
Robert Emmett who you hung and drew and quartered
High upon the scaffold high, how you butchered Henry Joy
And the Croppy Boys of Wexford you did slaughter


Oh let me hear you slew them poor Arabs two by two
Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows
How you bravely faced each one with your sixteen-pounder gun
And you've frightened them poor natives to their marrows

(additional verse)
Well the day is closing fast and the time will soon be past
When each dawning will be cast aside afore us
And if I be in need then me kids will say godspeed
With a bar or two of Stephen Behan`s chorus
