-5   -8   -7  -8 7-8-8
The strug-gle is o-ver
-5   6    7  -6* 6   -5
The boys are de-feat-ed
-5  -8    -7   -8    7   -8
Old Ire-land’s sur-round-ed
 -5   6   -7  -8    -7
With sad-ness and gloom
-8  -7  -8  7   -8
We were de-feat-ed
-5    6    7 -6*   6   -5
And shame-ful-ly treat-ed
-4  5  -5   6  -5-9-9
And I, Rob-ert Em-met
-8 -7   7  -7  7
A-wait now my doom
 -8    -7   -8   7    -8
Hung, drawn and quar-tered
  -5  6    7 -6*  6   -5
Sure that was my sen-tence
-5   -8 -7  -8   7    -8
But soon I will show them
-5  6  -7  -8 -7
No cow-ard am I 
-7  -8   -7 -8   7
My crime is the love
-8 -5   6   7 -6*  6   -5
Of the land I was born in
-4 5 -5 6 -5 -9
A he-ro I lived
-9 -8 -7 7   -7   7
And a he-ro I’ll die
 -8  -7  -8  7  -8
Bold Rob-ert Em-met
-5   6   7  -6*  6   -5
The dar-ling of Ire-land
 -8  -7  -8  7  -8
Bold Rob-ert Em-met
 -5   6   -7 -8   -7
Will die with a smile
 -8   -7  -8   7   -8
Fare-well com-pan-ions
 -5   6  7  -6*  6  -5
Both loy-al and dar-ing
 -4   5   -5  6  -5-9
I’ll lay down my life
-9  -8  -7 7  -7   7
For the Em-er-ald Isle.
