Introdução:
Dm C
I was born on a Dublin street where the Royal drums do beat
Dm
And the loving English feet they walked all over us
F C Am
And every single night when me da would come home tight
Dm C Dm
He' d invite the neighbors outside with this chorus
Dm
Oh, come out you black and tans
C
Come out and fight me like a man
Dm
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
F C Am
Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away
Dm C Dm
From the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra
Dm
Come let me hear you tell
C
How you slandered great Parnell
Dm
When you thought him well and truly persecuted
F
Where are the sneers and jeers
C Am
That you loudly let us hear
Dm C Dm
When our heroes of sixteen were executed
Dm
Oh, come out you black and tans
C
Come out and fight me like a man
Dm
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
F C Am
Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away
Dm C Dm
From the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra
Dm
Come tell us how you slew
C
Those ol' Arabs two by two
Dm
Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows
F
How you bravely faced one
C Am
With your sixteen pounder gun
Dm C Dm
And you frightened them poor natives to their marrow
Dm
Oh, come out you black and tans
C
Come out and fight me like a man
Dm
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
F C Am
Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away
Dm C Dm
From the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra
Dm
Now the time is coming fast
C
And I think them days are here
Dm
When each English yeoman he will run before us
F
And if there be a need
C Am
Then our kids will say, "Godspeed!"
Dm C Dm
With a verse or two of singing this fine chorus
Dm
Oh, come out you black and tans
C
Come out and fight me like a man
Dm
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
F C Am
Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away
Dm C Dm
From the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra
