Outlawed Rapparee Cifras

[Verse 1]
D                       A7               D        A7        D
My spurs are rusted, my coat is rent, my plume is damp with rain
        G       A            D      Bm        G           A7     D
And the thistle down and the barley beard are thick on my horses mane
                  G                         D                          G
But my rifle's as bright as my sweetheart's eyes, my arm is strong and free
     D                    G       D            A              D
What care have I for your king or laws, I'm an outlawed rapparee
 
[Chorus]
D         G       D                                       A
Lift your glasses friends with mine and give your hand to me
    G         D        G         D              G        A7    D
I'm England's foe, I'm Ireland's friend, I'm an outlawed rapparee
 
[Verse 2]
D                   A7               D         A7        D
The mountain cavern is my home, high up in the crystal air
        G     A         D    Bm             G           A7       D
And my bed of limestone iron ribbed and the brown heath smelling fair
              G            D                          G
Let George or William only send his troops to burn or loot
      D               G     D                A                  D
We'll meet them up on equal ground and we'll fight them foot to foot
 
[Chorus]
D         G       D                                       A
Lift your glasses friends with mine and give your hand to me
    G         D        G         D              G        A7    D
I'm England's foe, I'm Ireland's friend, I'm an outlawed rapparee
 
[Verse 3]
D                   A7             D          A7        D
Hunted from out our father's home, pursued by steel and shot
  G      A       D       Bm          G      A7     D
A bloody warfare we must wage or the gibbet be our lot
             G              D                       G
Hurrah! This war is welcome work, the hunted outlaw knows
   D              G         D             A              D
He steps unto his country's love o'er the corpses of his foes
 
[Chorus]
D         G       D                                       A
Lift your glasses friends with mine and give your hand to me
    G         D        G         D              G        A7    D
I'm England's foe, I'm Ireland's friend, I'm an outlawed rapparee
