4   4   3   4   5   6   7  -7  -6   7
At Boul-a-vogue as the sun was set-ting
 -6    6     5   4   -4  5   -4  4   -3'
O'er bright May mead-ows of Shel-ma-lier
-3'-34 3  4    5   6    7   -7  -6   7
A reb-el hand set the heath-er blaz-ing
-6     6     5   5 -4  4
And brought the neigh-bors 
 -4   4   4   4
From far and near
 6   6   5    6  -6   -7   7  -7  -6   7
Then Fa-ther Mur-phy from old Kil'cor-mack
  -6    6   5    4    -4  5  -4   4  -3'
Spurred up the rocks with a warn-ing cry
-3   4  3    4    5   6    7   -7  -6   7
Arm arm he cried for I've come to lead you
-6   6    5     5 -4 4  -4   4   4   4
For Ire-land's free-dom we fight or die
