Couplet 1:

[Em]They looked out from the
[Bm]Fortress on the hill
[D]There came a single warrior
[C]Returning from the [Em]kill
[Em]The spoils of war hung
[Bm]From his horses mane
The bloody heads of en[D]emies
That h[C]e had freshly [Em]slayed
[B5]They saw the face
The eyes so sullen
[D5]Could only be the
Young C. Chullai[E5]n

Couplet 2:

[Em]The son of Lugh MacEithleen knew no [Bm]fear
For just one blow at a[D]ny foe
[C5]To tell his end was n[Em]ear
[Em]So many tried to mock this [Bm]Celtic son
[D]They taunted and they te[Em]ased him till
[C5]He slayed them one by [Em]one

[B5]And so they came
And so they've fallen
[D5]at the hands of
Young C. Chulla[E5]in

Couplet 3:

[A5]Long ago the legend has it
How the mighty Ulster men
[C5]Battled with the King Of Connacht
[G5]Fighting to the [F5]bitter end
[A5]No one knew what foolish reason
Caused this skirmish to begin
[C5]Was it treachery or treason
[G5]Or just the idl[F5]e threats of drunken [Em]men?
