G              C               Em           D
Danny's in the corner and he's waiting all alone

    G                  C                Em           D
But something's on him feeling feels he hasn't got a hope

    G           C               Em           D
But over on the North side it's all about to hit

G N.C.                                 G
No one realizes what's about to happen here

Mary's in familiar ways about to drop a kid

    G           C             Em            D
Her [?] sipping gravy from an empty biscuit tin

    G               C           Em           D
The brotherhood are gathered to sake it to appear

    G          C           D             G
The citizens divided, only want us to be heard
[Refrain]
G                           C                      D
But there was Clarke, James Connolly, Plunkett and Pearse

G          Em      C               D
Ceannt, MacDonagh, Diarmada had no fear

G          C                Em           D
Volunteers together, insurrection they believed

      G           C              D               C
Could be the only answer, oh, to hear our nation sing
[Chorus]
          G       C
This is a song of liberty

        G              C
Yeah, together rise in unity

One man falls, united we shall be

          G                C               Em              D
There was nothing left but rubble with the burning and the smoke

   G              C              Em               D
Kilmainham may be waiting, their fate against the wall

G                   C             D                C
Execute their empty body, all you did was free our souls
