The Wolfe Tones - Come Out Ye Black And Tans

      [Verse 1]
       Dm                                C
I was born on a Dublin street where the Royal drums do beat
         Dm
And the loving English feet they walked all over us
      F                                   C
And each and every night when me father'd come home tight
       Dm                 C                  Dm
He'd invite the neighbors outside with this chorus

[Chorus]
         Dm
Oh, come out you black and tans
             C
Come out and fight me like a man
           Dm
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
           F                     C
Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away
           Dm              C            Dm
From the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra

[Verse 2]
      Dm
Come tell us how you slew
      C
Those brave Arabs two by two
           Dm
Like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows
         F
How you bravely slew each one
           C
With your sixteen pounder gun
          Dm                  C                Dm
And you frightened them poor natives to their marrow

[Chorus]
          Dm
Oh, come out you black and tans
             C
Come out and fight me like a man
           Dm
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
           F                     C
Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away
           Dm              C            Dm
From the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra

[Verse 3]
      Dm
Come let me hear you tell
          C
How you slandered great Parnell
          Dm
When you fought them well and truly persecuted
       F
Where are the smears and jeers
           C
That you bravely let us hear
         Dm         C               Dm
When our heroes of sixteen were executed

[Chorus]
         Dm
Oh, come out you black and tans
             C
Come out and fight me like a man
           Dm
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
           F                     C
Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away
           Dm              C            Dm
From the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra

[Verse 4]
     Dm
The day is coming fast
          C
And the time is here at last
           Dm
When each yeoman will be cast aside before us
    F
And if there be a need
        C
Sure my kids wil sing, "Godspeed!"
        Dm              C              Dm
With a verse or two of Steven Beehan's chorus

[Chorus]
         Dm
Oh, come out you black and tans
             C
Come out and fight me like a man
           Dm
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders
           F                     C
Tell them how the IRA made you run like hell away
           Dm              C            Dm
From the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra
