[Verse 1]
F C7 F C7
Well you've heard about the Indians with their tommyhawks and spears
F Bb Gm7 C7

Well none of them were in it but the Dublin Fusiliers.
Dm
You've heard about the Light Brigade and of the deeds they've done,
C
And of the other regiments that many vic'tries won
F C7 F C7
But the pride of all the armies Dragoons and Carabiniers
Bb F
Was that noble band of Warriors, the Dublin Fusiliers.
[Chorus]
F
With your left foot and right about face this is the way we go
Bb F Gm7 C7
Charging with fixed bayonets the terror of every foe.
F
A glory to old Ireland as proud as buccaneers
Bb F Bb F C7 F
And a terror to creation are the Dublin Fusiliers.
[Verse 2]

F C7 F C7
And when the General came to him and threw himself down in tears
Bb F C7 F
'We'd better run back like blazes, here's the Dublin Fusiliers.'
Dm
The Tsar' commenced to tremble and he bit his underlip..
C
Begorra boys, says he, I think we better take the tip
F
The devil's come from Dublin and to judge from what I hears
Bb F
They're demons of militia men, the Dublin Fusiliers.
[Chorus]
F
With your left foot and right about face this is the way we go
Bb F Gm7 C7
Charging with fixed bayonets the terror of every foe.

They didn't stop but started and amidst three ringing cheers,
N.C. C7 F
Came a shower of bricks and bullets from the Dublin Fusiliers.
Dm
The time that Julius Caesar tried to land down at Ringsend
C
The coastguards couldn't stop them, so for the Dublins they did send,

Bb F
'Get back to Rome like blazes here's the Dublin Fusiliers.
