[Verse]
E EIn Green Street Courthouse in eighteen and three
A BStood young Emmet the hero true and brave
EFor fighting the tyrant his country to free
A B EAnd tear from her brow the bonds of slavery
[Chorus]
B EThere are still men in Ireland who are loyal and true
BWho remember their patriots with pride
C#mAnd with God’s help young Emmet
EWe’ll soon give to you
A B EThe epitaph unwritten since you died
[Verse]
E EWell alone and defiant he stood in the dock
A E BWhile Lord Norbury the hanging judge looked down
EAll against his false charges as firm as a rock
A B EOh another Irish martyr to the crown
[Chorus]
B A EThere are still men in Ireland who are loyal and true
BWho remember their patriots with pride
C#mAnd with God’s help young Emmet
EWe’ll soon give to you
A B EThe epitaph unwritten since you died
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
E E N.C.Oh the verdict was guilty the sentence was death
A E BAnd in Thomas Street the tyrant’s work was done
E EOh but young Emmet smiled as he drew on his last breath
A B EFor he knew the fight for freedom would be won
[Chorus]
B EThere are still men in Ireland who are loyal and true
BWho remember their patriots with pride
C#mAnd with God’s help young Emmet
EWe’ll soon give to you
A B EThe epitaph unwritten since you died
A B EThe epitaph unwritten since you died
