[Verso 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: 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. [Verso 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. 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. [Verso 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. 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. [Verso 4] Dm C Now the time is coming fast, and I think them days are here Dm C Dm When each English yeoman heel and run before us F C And if they'll be in need, then our kids will sing, "Godspeed!" Dm C Dm With a verse or two of singing this fine Chorus N.C. Come out, ye black and tans; come out and fight me like a man! N.C. Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders. N.C. Tell her how the IRA made you run like hell away, N.C. from the green and lovely lanes in Killashandra. 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. Outro Dm C Dm
