Arbour Hill Lyrics And Chords
There's a link to the sheet music below. Recorded by Declan Hunt An Irish rebel song dealing with the events of the 1916 rising. The tune is the same as the old song Noreen Bawn. I have given the chords in two keys of D and G. Former singer / songwriter of The Wolfe Tones Derek Warfield also recorded the song with his new band ''The Young Wolfe Tones''.
[D]There's a sacred [G]spot in [D]Dublin,
A place called Arbour [G]Hill.
Where sleeps our noble [D]martyrs
But their [A]message rings out [D]still.
To you their message is calling
As it did that Easter day
When they flew the flag of freedom
And proclaimed the I.R.A.
They marched the men in Dublin,
And for Ireland struck a blow.
They cherished it and raised the flag
Over Dublin's G.P.O.
Traitors tried to sell the cause,
And traitors they may be,
For Pearse had only one in mind,
Old Ireland's liberty.
They followed Tone and Emmet,
And faced a martyrs grave,
We then must take their message,
If our nation we must save.
Six counties still subjected,
And are held by Britain still,
So wake up and show devotion,
To the men of Arbour Hill.
