[Verse 1]
     G            C              D7                 G
When all beside a vigil keep the West's asleep, the West's asleep

  G               Am             D7                G
Alas and well may Erin weep When Connacht lies in slumber deep

      G                    C
There lake and plain smile fair and free,

    Am                   D7              G
mid rocks their guardian chivalry; Sinig oh!

    G7             Em                D7        C   D   G
Let man learn liberty, from crashing winds and lashing sea
[Verse 2]
     G                  C           D7                G
That chainless wave and lovely land Freedom and Nationhood demand

  G                   Am                 D7                  G
Be sure the great God never planned, for slumbering slaves a home so grand

      G              C
And long a brave and haughty race

    Am             D7                     G
honored and sen-ti-nelled the place. Sing oh!

    G7                  Em                D7          C  D    G
Not even their son's disgrace can quite destroy their glory's trace
[Instrumental Verse] [Verse 2]
     G                  C           D7                G
And if when all a vigil's keep the West's asleep! The West's asleep!

  G                   Am                 D7                  G
Alas and well may Erin weep, that Connacht lies in slumber deep

      G               C
But hark a voice like thunder spake:

    Am                 D7                 G
The Wests's awake! The West's awake! Sing Oh!

    G7               Em                    D7         C     D        G
Hurrah let England Quake! We'll fight till death for Turtle Island's sake.
