[Verse]
C Dm
I re--member the day, it stands clear in my mind
G F C
We stood down at Dunlaoire to wave you goodbye
C Dm
Your ma was quietly weeping, there was a tear in my eye
G G7 C
As they sent you to Gallipoli to die
C Dm
You looked so young as you stood there, a glint in your eye
G F C
And you sang rebel songs as the streamers flew high
C Dm
Your ma turned away and I heard a sigh
G G7 C
God you're sailing to Gallipoli to die
[Chorus]
C Dm
You were all that we had your mammy and me
G F C
When you marched head erect you were proud as could be
C Bb A Dm
And it killed your poor ma and it slow--ly killed me
G F C
When you were blown to kingdom come on the shores of Gallipoli
[Verse]
C Dm
We only got the one letter and we knew right away
G F C
It said deepest regrets your son was bold and he was brave
C Dm
You were only eighteen yet your mammy and I
G G7 C
Let you go to Gallipoli to die.
[Chorus]
C Dm
You were all that we had your mammy and me
G F C
When you marched head erect you were proud as could be
C Bb A Dm
And it killed your poor ma and it slow--ly killed me
G F C
When you were blown to kingdom come on the shores of Gallipoli
[Verse]
C Dm
You fought for the wrong country, you died for the wrong cause
G F C
And your ma often said, that it was Ireland's great loss
C Dm
All those fine young men who marched to foreign shores to fight the wars
G G7 C
When the greatest war of all was at home.
[Chorus] x2
C Dm
You were all that we had your mammy and me
G F C
When you marched head erect you were proud as could be
C Bb A Dm
And it killed your poor ma and it slow--ly killed me
G F C
When you were blown to kingdom come on the shores of Gallipoli
