Oh[G] have you been to Avondale,

Where[G] tall trees[C] whisper and[G] know the[Em] tale,
Of[C] Avond[G]ale's proud[C] ea[G]gle.
[2]
Where pride and ancent glory fade,
So was the land where he was laid,
Like Christ was thirty pieces paid,
For Avondale's proud eagle,
[3]
Long years that green and lovely vale,has nursed Parnell,her proudest Gale,
And cursed the land that has betrayed,
Fair Avondale's proud eagle.

Oh[D] have you been to Avondale,
And[Em] linger in its[A] lovely vale,
Where[D] tall trees[G] whisper and[D] know the[Bm] tale,
Of[G] Avond[D]ale's proud[G] ea[D]gle
