Kelly The Boy From Killane chords

[VERSE]
N.C.
What's the news, what's the news, oh me bold Shelmalier
N.C.
With your long barrel guns from the sea?
N.C.
Say, what wind from the south brings a messenger here
N.C.
With this hymn of the dawn for the free?
N.C.
Goodly news, goodly news do I bring youth of Forth
N.C.
Goodly news shall I hear Bargy man
N.C.
For the boys march at morn from the south to the north
N.C.
Led by Kelly, the boy from Kil[Bb]lane [F] [C]

[VERSE]
N.C.
Tell me who is the giant with the gold curling hair
N.C.
He who rides at the head of your band
N.C.
Seven feet is his height with some inches to spare
N.C.
And he looks like a king in command
Oh, me [F]boys, that's the pride of the [C]bold Shelmalier
'Mongst our [F]greatest of [Dm7]heroes, a [G]man
Fling your [C]beavers a[F]loft and give [C]three ringing [Am]cheers
For John [C]Kelly, the [G]boy from Kil[Bb]lane

[VERSE]
Ennis[C]corthy's in [F]flames and old [C]Wexford is [Am]won
And the [C]barrow to[G]morrow we will [C]cross [F]
On the [C]hill o'er the [F]town we have [C]planted a [Am]gun
That will [C]batter the [G]gateways at [C]Ross
All the [F]Forth men and Bargy men [C]march o'er the heath
With brave [F]Harvey to [Dm7]lead on the [G]van
But the [C]foremost of [F]all in that [C]grim gap of [Am]death
Will be [C]Kelly, the [G]boy from Kil[Bb]lane

[VERSE]
N.C.
But the gold sun of freedom grew darkened at Ross
N.C.
And it set by the Slaney's red wave
N.C.
And poor Wexford stripped naked hung high on a cross
N.C.
With her heart pierced by traitors and knaves
Glory-[F]o, Glory-o to the [C]brave men who died
For the c[F]ause of long [Dm7]down-trodden [G]man
Glory-[C]o to Mount [F]Leinster's own [C]dar[G/B]ling and [Am]pride
Dauntless[C] Kelly, the[G] boy from Ki[Bb]llane
