Lyrics and guitar chords

  • Guitar chords Novice
On the Em21st of July, Dbeneath a burning sun,
McEmDowell met the Southern troops in Gbattle at Bull BRun.
AGbove the Union Dvanguard, was Amproudly to be Dseen
BeGside the Dstarry Embanner - Bold EmErin's flag of green.


Col. CEmorcoran led the 69th on Dthat eventful day,
I Emwish the Prince of Wales were there to Gsee him in the Bfray.
His Gcharge upon the Dbatteries was a Ammost glorious Dscene,
With Ggallant DNew York EmfireBmen Emand the boys that wore the green.


In the Emhottest of the fire, there Drode along the line
A Emcaptain of the Zouave band, crying, "GNow, boys, is your Btime."
Ah, Gwho so boldy Drides with the Ambold and dauntless Dmen?
'Tis GThomas DFrancus EmMeagher Bof EEmrin's isle of green.


The coEmlors of the 69th, I say Dit without shame,
Were Emtaken in the struggle to Gswell the victor's Bfame;
BGut Farnham's dashing DZouaves, that Amrun with the Dmachine,
ReGtook them Din a Emmoment, Bwith Emthe boys that wore the green.

Being oEmverpowered by numbers, our Dtroops were forced to flee.
The EmSouthern black horse cavalry on Gthem charged furiouBsly,
But iGn that hour of Dperil, the Amflying mass to Dscreen,
Stood the Ggallant DNew York EmfireBmen with Emthe boys that wore the green.


Oh, Emthe boys of the 69th, they Dare a gallant band,
BoEmlder never drew a sword for tGheir adopted Bland.
AmongGst the fallen hDeroes, a brAmaver had not beDen
Than Gyou, Dlamented EmHaggerBty, of EmErin's isle of green.


FareEmwell, my gallant countrymen who Dfell that fatal day.
FaEmrewell, ye noble firemen, now Gmouldering in the Bclay.
While Gblooms the leafy Dshamrock, whilst Amruns the old macDhine.
Your Gdeeds will Dlive bold EmRed Shirts Band Emboys that wore the green

Your Gdeeds will Dlive bold EmRed Shirts Band Emboys that wore the green
