1. I re-mem-ber the day, it stands clear in my mind
            A                         G             D  
   We stood down to Dun Laoighaire to wave you good-bye
        D                                     Em
   Your ma was quiet-ly weep-ing, there was a tear in my eye
           A               A7          G      D
   As they sent you to Gal-li-po-li to die |     |
   
       D                                     Em

           A                        G               D  
   And you sang re-bel songs as the stream-ers flew high
        D                    Em
   Your ma turned a-way, and I heard her sigh
               A               A7          G      D
   For you are sail-ing to Gal-li-po-li to die |     |

                 A                            G              D
        When you marched head erect, you were proud as could be
               D                C          B7             Em
        And it killed your poor ma, and it slow-ly killed me
                      Em                A           G                   D
        When you were blown to king-dom come on the shores of Gal-li-po-li |  𝄎  |

            A                              G               D  
   It said "Deep-est re-grets your son was bold and he was brave"
            D                  Em
   You were on-ly 18, yet your mam-my and I
           A         A7          G      D 
   Let you go to Gal-li-po-li to die |     |

        And it killed your poor ma, and it slow-ly killed me
                      Em                A           G                   D

            A                          G                D  
   And your ma of-ten said that it was Ire-land's great loss
             D                                      Em
   All those fine young men who marched to for-eign shores to fight the wars
             A               A7         G       D 
   When the great-est war of all was at home |     |
