[C] "God save Ireland," said the heroes
[G] "God save Ireland," said they all
Whether [C] on the scaffold high or the [F] battlefield we [C] die
Oh, what matter when for [G] Erin dear we [C] fall?
[C] High upon the gallows tree swung the [F] noblehearted [C] three
By the vengeful tyrant stricken in their [G] bloom
But they [C] met him face to face with the [F] courage of their [C] race
And they went with souls un-[G]daunted to their [C] doom
[C] "God save Ireland," said the heroes
[G] "God save Ireland," said they all
Whether [C] on the scaffold high or the [F] battlefield we [C] die
Oh, what matter when for [G] Erin dear we [C] fall?
[C] Climbed they up the rugged stair, rang their [F] voices out in [C] prayer
Then with England's fatal cord around them [G] cast
Close [C] beside the gallows tree, kissed like [F] brothers loving-[C]ly
True to home and faith and [G] freedom to the [C] last
[C] "God save Ireland," said the heroes
[G] "God save Ireland," said they all
Whether [C] on the scaffold high or the [F] battlefield we [C] die
Oh, what matter when for [G] Erin dear we [C] fall?
[C] Never 'till the latest day shall the [F] memory pass a-[C]way
Of the gallant lives thus given for our [G] land
But on the [C] cause must go, amidst [F] joy and weal and [C] woe
'Till we make our Isle a [G] nation free and [C] grand
[C] "God save Ireland," said the heroes
[G] "God save Ireland," said they all
Whether [C] on the scaffold high or the [F] battlefield we [C] die
Oh, what matter when for [G] Erin dear we [C] fall?
