Captain (G)Taggart took the (Bm)field with his (C)men as hard as (Am)steel
And we (C)drove the bloody (Am)rebels/traitors to the (D)sea-(Dsus4)-(D)
Be(G)fore the guns had (Em)stilled there were (C)many hundreds (D)killed
There’s (Em)many an Irish (Am)girl sad to(G)night

(G)When the smoke had (Bm)cleared it was (C)just as we had (Am)feared
Captain (C)Taggart lay (Am)wounded on the (D)ground-(Dsus4)-(D)
With his (G)head upon my (Em)knee, there he (C)met eterni(D)ty
I (Em)proudly closed his (Am)eyes and then I (G)cried

Chorus:
And it’s (D)whiskey in the (C)morning, (D)whiskey in the (C)night
An(Am)other Irish (Em)soldier lad has (C)fought his final (G)fight
We’ll (D)toast him ‘til we’re (C)drunk boys and (D)douse the candle(G)light
And (C)tell them, Captain (Am)Taggart he’s (D)coming home tonight

Repeat Intro once

Well we (G)took his body (Bm)home and the (C)drums and pipes did (Am)drone
And we (C)pulled a fine black (Am)casket through the (D)streets-(Dsus4)-(D)
And then (G)told his grieving (Em)wife, that he (C)loved her more than (D)life
And we (Em)gave to his young (Am)son his father’s (G)sword

Now the (G)people they all (Bm)dream of an (C)Ireland free and (Am)green
Where (C)nowhere can be (Am)heard the battle (D)cry-(Dsus4)-(D)
The (G)fighting’s gone too (Em)long, and it (C)just drags on and (D)on
And I’d (Em)like to know some (Am)peace before I (G)die

Repeat chorus twice
Repeat Intro twice
