Tom: Am
Am G Em Am C G Em Am G Am
[Verse 1]
Am G Em
I was born on a Dublin street where the Royal drums do beat
Am
And the loving English people walked all over us
C G Em
And every single every night when me dad would come home tight
Am G Am
He'd invite the neighbors out with this chorus
[Chorus]
Am G Em
Come out you Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man
Am
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
C G Em
Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away
Am G Am
From the green and lovely lakes of Killashandra
[Verse 2]
Am G Em
Come tell us how you slew them ol' Arabs two by two
Am
Like the Zulus they had knives and bows and arrows
C G Em
Oh, how you bravely you faced one with your sixteen pounder gun
Am G Am
And you frightened all natives to the marrow
[Chorus]
Am G Em
Come out you Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man
Am
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
C G Em
Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away
Am G Am
From the green and lovely lakes of Killashandra
[Verse 3]
Am G Em
Come let me hear you tell how you slammed the brave Parnell
Am
And taught him well and truly persecuted
C G Em
Where are the sneers and jeers that you proudly let us hear
Am G Am
When our heroes of sixteen were executed?
[Chorus]
Am G Em
Come out you Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man
Am
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
C G Em
Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away
Am G Am
From the green and lovely lakes of Killashandra
Am G Em Am C G Em Am G Am
[Verse 4]
Am G Em
Oh, come out you British Huns, come out and fight without your guns
Am
Show your wife how you won medals up in Derry
C G Em
You murdered sixteen men and you'll do the same again
Am G Am
So get out of here and take your bloody army
[Chorus]
Am G Em
Come out you Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man
Am
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
C G Em
Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away
Am G Am
From the green and lovely lakes of Killashandra
[Chorus]
Am G Em
Come out you Black and Tans, come out and fight me like a man
Am
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
C G Em
Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away
Am G Am
From the green and lovely lakes of Killashandra
