The Dubliners – Take It Down From The Mast (Guitar)

         G
Take it down from the mast, Irish traitors,

          C                  G
It's the flag we Republicans claim.

        C                   Em
It can never belong to Free Staters,

             C            D           G
For they've brought on it nothing but shame.

         G
I'll not leave it to those who are willing

     C                     G
To uphold it in war and in peace,

       C                    Em
To the men who intend to do killing

 C              D       G
Until England's tyranny cease.

         G
Take it down from the mast, Irish traitors,

          C                  G
It's the flag we Republicans claim.

        C                   Em
It can never belong to Free Staters,

             C            D           G
For they've brought on it nothing but shame.

         G
You have murdered our brave Liam and Rory

       C                             G
You've slaughtered young Richard and Joe

     C                                Em
Your hands with their blood are still gory

   C           D           G
Fulfilling the work of the foe.

         G
Take it down from the mast, Irish traitors,

          C                  G
It's the flag we Republicans claim.
