Sean South From Garryowen



       G                                 C         D          G 
It was on a dreary new year's eve as the shades of night came down, 
                 C     G          Em     C      D   
A lorry load of volunteers approched the border town, 
          G               C        G    Em        C     D 
There was men from Dublin and from Cork,Fermanagh and Tyrone, 
           G                        C               D    G 
And their leader was a Limerick man Sean South from Garryowen 

G                                      C        D     G 
And as they moved along the streets up to the barrack door, 
                        C         G         Em        C      D 
They scorned the danger they might face,the fate that lay in store, 
          G                C    G    Em           C     D 
They were fighting for old Ireland,to claim their very own, 
         G                                    C      D    G 
And the foremost of that gallant band was South from Garryowen. 

G                                           C          D           G 
But the sergent foiled their daring plan,he spied them through the door, 
                           C        G       Em     C  D 
Then the Sten guns and the rifles a hail of death did pour, 
      G             C         G       Em           C      D 
And when that auful night was past,two men lay as cold as stone, 
          G                            C        D     G 
There was one from near the border,and one from Garryowen. 

G                                            C        D       G 
No more he'll hear the seagull cry o're the murmuring Shannon tide, 
                      C         G    Em         C  G   D 
For he fell beneath a Northern sky,brave Hanlon by his side, 
          G                 C       G       Em       C          D 
They have gone to join that gallant band of Plunkett Pearse and Tone, 
  G                           C          D    G 
A martyr for old Ireland,Sean South from Garryowen
