The Rising Of The Moon chords
John Keegan Leo Casey (to the tune of The Wearing Of The Green)

D A G D A D *

D A
And come, tell me Sean O'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so?
G D A D
"Hush a bhuachaill, hush and listen", and his cheeks were all aglow,
A
"I bear orders from the captain: get you ready quick and soon,
G D A D
for the pikes must be together by the rising of the moon"

D A
By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon,
G D A D
for the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon

D A
"And come tell me Sean O'Farrell, where the gath'rin is to be?"
G D A D
"In the old spot by the river, quite well known to you and me.
A
One more word for signal token: whistle out the marchin' tune,
G D A D
with your pike upon your shoulder, at the rising of the moon."

D A
At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon,
G D A D
with your pike upon your shoulder, at the rising of the moon.

D A
Out from many a mud wall cabin eyes were watching through the night,
G D A D
many a manly heart was beatin, for the blessed morning light.
A
Murmurs ran along the valleys to the banshee's lonely croon,
G D A D
and a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon.

D A
By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon,
G D A D
and a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon

D A
All along that singing river that black mass of men was seen,
G D A D
high above their shining weapons, flew their own beloved green.
A
"Death to every foe and traitor! Whistle out the marching tune."
G D A D
And hurrah my boys for freedom; 'tis the rising of the moon".

D A
Tis the rising of the moon, tis the rising of the moon,
G D A D
and hurrah my boys for freedom; 'tis the rising of the moon".

D A
Well they fought for poor old Ireland, and full bitter was their fate,
G D A D
oh what glorious pride and sorrow, fills the name of ninety-eight!
A
Yet, thank God, e'en still are beating hearts in manhood burning noon,
G D A D
who would follow in their footsteps, at the risin' of the moon

D A
By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon,
G D A D
who would follow in their footsteps, at the risin' of the moon.
