[Chorus]We're[G] on the one road sharing the[C] one [G]road,
We're on the[C] road to[G] God knows[D] where,
We're on the[G] one road,it maby the[Em] wrong road,
But we're to[Am]gether now who[D] cares,
[G]North men,South men com[Em]rades all,
[A]Dublin Belfast[D] Cork and Donegal,
We're on the[G] one road swinging[Am] along,singing a [A]soldier's[D] song.


[2]
[Em]Though we've had our troubles now and then,
[G]Now is the time to make them up again,
[Em]Sure aren't we all Irish anyhow,
[D]Now is the time to[D] step together now.


[3]
Tinker tailor every mother's son
Butcher baker shouldering his gun,
Rich man poor man,every man in line,
All together just like Old Lang Syne
[4]Night is darkest just before the dawn,
From disention Ireland is reborn,
Soon we'el have United Irishmen,
Make our land,a nation once again
