[VERSE 1]
I [Am]went away to [G]fight a war that small [Am]nations might be [G]free
Got a [F]soldiers [C]guns and [F]uni[C]form to [G]fight the enemy
I was t[F]rained to shoot my [C]fellow be[Dm]fore he [G]got to [Dm]me
And I [G]danced with death in the [C]mud and [Am]wept and [G7]prayed my home to [C]see.
[CHORUS]
So come [Dm]over [G]to me [Dm]darling [G]girl come [F]here me Molly [C]dear.
You are as [Dm]welcome [G]as the [Dm]flowers in [G]May you're [F]welcome here to [C]me.
No [F]more I'll fire the musket [C]shot or [F]hear the [C]cannon [Dm]roar
I've [G]done my time, now [C]you'll be[Am] mine I'm [G]yours for[G7]ever [C]more.
[VERSE 2]
While [Am]in the trenches [G]there I thought who [Am]starts these bloody-[G]wars
And [F]thought of [C]these great [F]Iris[C]hmen who [G]died on these strangeshores
Then a [F]bomb did burst to the [C]air it trust some [Dm]shrapnel f[G]ire and [Dm]blood
I es[G]caped it then shot [C]back at [Am]them and [G7]lay back in the [C]mud.
[CHORUS]
So come [Dm]over [G]to me [Dm]darling [G]girl come [F]here me Molly [C]dear.
You are as [Dm]welcome [G]as the [Dm]flowers in [G]May you're [F]welcome here to [C]me.
No [F]more I'll fire the musket [C]shot or [F]hear the [C]cannon [Dm]roar
I've [G]done my time, now [C]you'll be[Am] mine I'm [G]yours for[G7]ever [C]more.
[VERSE 3]
While [Am]I was off in [G]foreign lands, fighting [Am]other peoples' [G]wars
Some [F]gallant m[C]en were [F]fight[C]ing here to f[G]ree their native shore
You [F]shot our leaders of [C]16 saw our [Dm]city [G]sacked and [Dm]burned
Then you [G]sent us in the [C]Black and Tans to [Am]greet [G7]our homere[C]turn.
[CHORUS]

[VERSE 4]
I don't [Am]need your heroes [G]welcome I don't w[Am]ant your bugle [G]call
No [F]brass [C]band no [F]pipes and [C]drums, no [G]medal badge or star
But [F]give me what you [C]promised me when [Dm]first I [G]went to [Dm]war
That's [G]freedom for old Ire[C]land and [Am]I'll go to [G7]fight no [C]more.
