​The Harmonica Tab Is In This Ebook
[D]From the woods [Bm]of Glen[A]bower to the [D]river Diss[G]our
From the [Bm]arms of my [A]mother to the [D]land ever [G]pure
All I [Bm]have to re[A]member, is the [D]pride that I [G]felt
'Round the [Bm]Páirc Uí Chinnéi[A]de where the [D]boys never [G]knelt


They'd go [D]raring and [Emptearing and [F#m]fighting for [G]love
For the [Bm]land they call [A]Killeagh and the [D]Lord up a[G]bove
Killeag[Em]h, [D]la
La-la, la, la-[Fm]la-la, la-la-G]la
For the [Bm]green and the [A]white I a[G]dore
For the [Bm]parish to [D]last ever[G]more


'95 came promotion, high up on the wing
And no-one up to senior, what a beautiful thing
In the darkest of hours, in the depths of despair
Let the Killeagh boys roar far to rattle the air


They'd go raring and tearing and fighting for love
For the land they call Killeagh and the Lord up above
Killeagh, la
La-la, la, la-la-la, la-la-la
For the green and the white I adore
For the parish to last evermore


Killeagh, la
La-la, la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la
Killeagh, la
La-la, la, la-la-la, la-la-la
For the green and the white I adore
For the parish to last evermore
When my time's at an ending
When my days are no more
Bury me with my Hurley by the river Dissour


The above version of the chords are what's played by Kingfishr.
Here's the guitar chords in G.

[G]From the woods [Em]of Glen[D]bower to the [G]river Diss[C]our
From the [Em]arms of my [D]mother to the [G]land ever [C]pure
All I [Em]have to re[D]member, is the [G]pride that I [C]felt
'Round the [Em]P irc U Chinn i[D]de where the [G]boys never [C]knelt


They'd go [G]raring and [Am]ptearing and [Bm]fighting for [C]love
For the [Em]land they call [D]Killeagh and the [G]Lord up a[C]bove
Killeag[Am]h, [G]la
La-la, la, la-[A#m]la-la, la-la-[C]la
For the [Em]green and the [D]white I a[C]dore
For the [Em]parish to [G]last ever[C]more
