[Verse 1]
Dm C
I was born on a Dublin street where the Royal drums did beat,
Dm C Dm
and the loving English feet they walked all over us.
F C
And every single night when me Da would come home tight
Dm Am Dm
he'd invite the neighbours out with this chorus:
[Chorus]
Dm C
Come out, ye black and tans; come out and fight me like a man!
Dm C Dm
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders.
F C
Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away,
Dm C Dm
from the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra.
[Verse 2]
Dm C
Come let us hear you tell how you slandered great Parnell.
Dm C Dm
When you thought him well and truly persecuted.
F C
Where are those sneers and jeers that you loudly let us hear
N.C. Dm
when our heroes of sixteen were executed.
[Chorus]
Dm C
Come out, ye black and tans; come out and fight me like a man!
Dm C Dm
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders.
F C
Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away,
Dm C Dm
from the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra.
[Verse 3]
Dm C
Come and tell us how you slew them old Arabs two by two:
Dm C Dm
like the Zulus they had spears and bows and arrows.
F C
How bravely you faced one with your sixteen-pounder gun
Dm C Dm
and you frightened them damn natives to the marrow.
[Chorus]
Dm C
Come out, ye black and tans; come out and fight me like a man!
Dm C Dm
Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders.
F C
Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away,
Dm C Dm
from the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra.
