[Intro]
Am

[Verse 1]
C
Leitrim is a very funny place sir
F C
It’s a strange and a troubled land

All the boys are in the IRA sir
G Am
All the women are in Cumann na mBan
C
Every tractor has a Nicky Kelly sticker
F C
Displayed for all to see
F C
Sure it was no wonder that the Gardai made a blunder
G C
Said your man from RTE

[Chorus]
Am
Every bird upon my word is singing I’m a rebel sir

Up in Leitrim sir
C G
Every hen indeed is laying hand grenades I do declare sir

In Dromahair sir
F C F G
Every auld crock of a Drumsna cock is longing to be free
C
Even sheep are advising there’ll be another rising
G C
Said your man from RTE

[Verse 2]

Today-Tonight they went to Ballinamore sir
F C
They were briefed by the Gardai

On a video they showed to them the Provo’s
G Am
Eating curry and drinking tea
C
They were all wearing Russian balaclavas
F C
Each carried an RPG
F C
British scalps around their tummy pockets full of stolen money
G C
Said your man from RTE

[Chorus]
Am
Every bird upon my word is singing I’m a rebel sir
