                                    F (133211@1)    C (x32010@1)   Am (x02210@1)     Dm (xx0231@1)     G7 (320001@1)          From farmstedt and from fishers cot along the banks of Bann.
                C (x32010@1)       Em (022000@1)     F (133211@1)      C (x32010@1)        Am (x02210@1)      Dm (xx0231@1)     G7 (320001@1)           They come with vengence in their eyes, too late, too late are they,
                      C (x32010@1)                              Am (x02210@1)      F (133211@1)    C (x32010@1)          For young Roddy McCorly goes to die on the bridge of Toome today.

Verse 2:   When the last stepped up the stret, his shining pike in hand.
           Behind him marched in grim array a stalwart earnest band.
           For Antrim town, for Antrim town, he led them to the fray,
           And young Roddy McCorly goes to die on the bridge of Toome today.

Verse 3:   Up the narrows streets he steps, smiling proud and young.
           About the hemp rope on his neck, the golden ringlets clung.
         There was never a tear in his blue eyes, both sad and bright are they,
            For young Roddy McCorly goes to die on the bridge of Toome today.
