[Verse 1]
G                                   C      D7    G
In a lonely mountain valley in the county of Tyrone

                                        C      Am   D7
Lies one of Ireland’s hallowed spots deserted and unknown

    G                                C         Am    D7
But few who write historic tales or wield the poet’s pen

    G         D                G         C          D7    G
can say with pride “I knelt beside The Mass Rock in the glen.”
[Verse 2]
G                                         C     D7     G
I’m proud that I am mountain bred this is my native place

                                         C           Am    D7
These mountain glens have ever been the stronghold of our race

      G                                    C        Am      D7
‘Twas here our fathers earned the right to bear the name of men

      G        D                 G           C          D7    G
When they kept the faith for Ireland by The Mass Rock in the glen.
[Verse 3]
G                                         C     D7     G
No more on Corradinna Hill the sentinel stands on guard

                                         C       Am    D7
Our ancient foes,the hated yoghs, have gone to their reward

      G                                C        Am      D7
And he who worships God in peace may bless the fearless men

      G        D           G           C          D7    G
Who held the faith for Ireland by The Mass Rock in the glen.
[Verse 4]
G                                         C     D7     G
God Bless the glens of Ireland, every rock and mountain pass

                                         C          Am      D7
‘Twas those same glens that under God preserved for us, the Mass.

      G                                C        Am      D7
And if the day should come again when Ireland calls for men

      G        D             G           C          D7    G
She will not find them wanting by The Mass Rock in the glen.
