Me Old Howth Gun
| D | G |
| There is | sorrow in my | heart |
| Bm |
| That we lately had to | part |
| G | D |
| In | Ireland's day of | need, |
| G | Bm |
| Ah you | proved a friend in | deed - Bm |
| D | G |
| When you | made the bullet | speed |
| A | D |
| O me | old Howth | gun. - D |
| D | G |
| I was | glad when you were | near |
| Bm |
| For the foeman did I | fear |
| G | D |
| When your | bark and bitter | bite |
| G | Bm |
| Put the | Saxon course to | flight - Bm |
| D | G |
| And he | didn't stop to | fight |
| A | D |
| O me | old Howth | gun. - D |
| D | G |
| O how | glorious was your | feel |
| Bm |
| When you made the Saxon | reel |
| G | D |
| When the | Lancers trimmin' | neat |
| G | Bm |
| Came chargin | down O'Connell | Street - Bm |
| D | G |
| And they | beat a grim re | treat |
| A | D |
| O me | old Howth | gun. - D |
| D | G |
| O the | parting it was | sore |
| Bm |
| Shall I ne'er see you no | more |
| G | D |
| There is | glorious hopes that | we |
| G | Bm |
| Could have | set old Ireland | free - Bm |
| D | G |
| But now your | parted far from | me |
| A | D |
| O me | old Howth | gun. - D |
| D | G |
| O the | day will surely | come |
| Bm |
| When I'll join the fightin' | men |
| G | D |
| In some | brave determined | band |
| Spoken in Danny Doyle's version |
|
| G | Bm |
| I shall | surely take my | stand |
| Spoken in Danny Doyle's version |
| - Bm | |
| D | G | A | D |
| For the | freedom of our | landO me | old Howth | gun. - |
