[Intro] Am [Verse 1] Ah, then tell me Sean O'Farrell
                            Em
Tell me why you're hurrying so

Am                         C
Hush, my boy, oh, hush and listen

        E              Am    Em  Am
And his eyes were all aglow

             Em        Am       C
I bear orders from the captain

        Em              Am    Em
Get you ready quick and soon

        Am         Em   C
For the pikes must be together

       E             Am
At the rising of the moon
[Verse 2] Ah, then tell me Sean O'Farrell
                          Em
Where the gatherin' is to be

       Am              C
In the old spot by the river

           E        Am      Em  Am
Right well known to you and me

          Em              Am     C
One thing more for signal token

        Em              Am    Em
Whistle up the marchin' tune

          Am         Em   C
With your sword upon your shoulder

       E             Am
At the rising of the moon
[Verse 3]
        Em               Am     C
Rumours passed along the valley

       Em               Am    Em
Like a banshee's lonely croon

      Am       Em          C
And a thousand blades were flashin'

       E             Am
At the rising of the moon
[Verse 4] All along the singing river
                           Em
That dark mass of men were seen

     Am                 C
Far above their shining weapons

           Em    Am     Em    Am
Hung their own immortal green

         E         Am  Em      Am
Death to every foe and traitor

        Em                  Am    Em
Foreign strike the marchin' tune

       Am     Em       C
And hurrah me boys for Ireland

        E             Am
Tis the rising of the moon
[Verse 5] Well, they fought for poor old Ireland
                          Em
And full bitter was their fate

         Am                 C
Oh, what glorious pride and sorrow

         E       Am     Em     Am
Fill the name of ninety-eight

          Em        Am         C
Yet thank god while hearts are beating

        Em        Am      Em
Foreign manhood's burnin' noon

         Am        Em    C
We shall follow in their footsteps

       E             Am
At the rising of the moon
[Verse 6]
         E         Am  Em      Am
Death to every foe and traitor

        Em                  Am    Em
Foreign strike the marchin' tune

       Am     Em       C
And hurrah me boys for freedom
Tis the rising
        E             Am
Tis the rising of the moon
