[Intro]
Em D C G Am Bm C
[Verse 1]
You may Gsing or Dspeak about CEaster Amweek
Or the Gheroes of ninety-Ceight
Of the GFenian men who roamed the glen
In Cvictory Dor deEmfeat
Their Cnames in hGistory pages told
Their Dmemories will enEmdure
Not a Gsong was Dsung of our Cdarling Dsons
In the GValley of KnockCanure
[Verse 2]
There were EmWalsh and DLyons and the CDalton Amboys
They were Gyoung and in their Cprime
As they Emrambled Gto a lonesome spot
Where the DBlack and CTans did Emlie
RepCublican Gbold they did uphold
Tho' Doutlawed Con the Emmoor
And Gside by Dside they Cfought and Ddied
In the GValley of KnockCanure
[Verse 3]
It was Emon a Dneighbouring ChillAmside
We Glistened in calmed amaze
In Emevery Ghouse, in every town
There Dkneeled a Cmaid to Empray
They're Cclosing Gin around them now
With Drifle Cfire so Emsure
And poor GDalton is Ddown and CLyons is Ddead
In the GValley of KnockaCnure
[Instrumental]
Em D C G Am Bm C
[Verse 4]
So they Emtook him Ddown beyCond the Amfence
Where the Gflowers were in full Cbloom
And they Emmade him Gkneel down upon the grass
For to Dface his Cfinal Emdoom
And then CDalton he Dspoke, as his voice it broke
With Dpassion Cproud and Empure
"Oh for GIreland I'll Ddie as I Cface the Dsky"
In the GValley of KnockaCnure
[Verse 5]
Now the Emsummer Dsun was Csetting Amnow
BeGtween the hills and the Csea
And the Empale pale Gmoon was rising
Far Dout from CTralee Emtown
And the Cdismal sGtars and the clouds afar
Are Ddarkening Co'er the Emmoor
And the Gbanshee Dcried as our Csons they Ddied
In the GValley of KnockCanure
