Version 1Intro: D A G D A D D A And come tell me Sean O'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so G D A D Hush a bhuachaill, hush and listen and his cheeks were all aglow A I bear orders from the captain, get you ready quick and soon G D A D For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon Chorus: D A At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon G D A D For the pikes must be together at the rising of the moon D A And come tell me Sean O'Farrell, where the gathering is to be G D A D At the old spot by the river quite well known to you and me A One more word for signal token, whistle out the marching tune G D A D With your pike upon your shoulder at the rising of the moon Chorus: D A At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon G D A D With your pike upon your shoulder at the rising of the moon D A Out from many a mud walled cabin eyes were watching through the night G D A D Many a manly heart was beating for the blessed morning's light A Murmurs ran along the valley to the banshee's lonely croon G D A D And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon Chorus: D A By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon G D A D And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon D A All along that singing river, that black mass of men was seen G D A D High above their shining weapons flew their own beloved green A Death to every foe and traitor, whistle out the marching tune G D A D And hoorah me boys for freedom 'tis the rising of the moon Chorus: D A 'Tis the rising of the moon, 'tis the rising of the moon G D A D And hoorah me boys for freedom 'tis the rising of the moon
