[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
