C F C F G C
I am a gallant highway man, called Valentine O'Hara
F C G C F G
And I come from poor but decent folk nigh to the Hill of Tara
G C F Bb C
By the getting of a maid with child, to England I went over
C F C G C G C
I left my parents and I became a wild and daring rover
[VERSE 2]
C F C F G C
Well, it's straight to England I did go, where I became a soldier
F C G C F G
Resolved to fight Britannia's foes; no Hector great was bolder
G C F Bb C
I fought all in some foreign shores, where the cannons loud did rattle
C F C G C G C
Believe me boys, I do not boast how I behaved in battle
[VERSE 3]
C F C F G C
Well it's many's the battle I fought in, in Holland and French Flanders
F C G C F G
For I always fought with a courage keen, led on by great commanders
G C F Bb C
Until a cruel Ensign found me out, and I was flogged and carted
C F C G C G C
Oh Cruel Usage they gave me, and so I soon departed
[INSTRUMENTAL - pipes - verse chods 1X]
[VERSE 4]
C F C F G C
Well it's straight back to England I did go as fast as winds would drive me
F C G C F G
Resolved that of my liberty, no man could e'er deny me
G C F Bb C
For I slept out in the fields at night, by all my friends forsaken
C F C G C G C
I dared not walk the road by day, for fear I might be taken
[VERSE 5]
C F C F G C
But I being of a courage keen and likewise able-bodied
F C G C F G
I robbed Lord Nelson on the King's Highway with my pistols heavy loaded

I placed my pistols to his breast which caused his heart to quiver
C F C G C G C
Five-hundred pounds in ready gold to me he did deliver
[VERSE 6]

Well, with part of my new store of gold I bought a famous gelding

That could jump o'er a five-bar gate, and I bought it from Ned Fielding

Lord Arkinstone all in his coach I robbed near Covent Garden
C F C G C G C
And two hours later that same night I robbed the Earl of Warren
[VERSE 7]
C F C F G C
In Turnham Green I next did rob the revenue collector
F C G C F G
And what I took from him I gave to a widow to protect her
G C F Bb C
I always robbed the rich and great, for to rob the poor I scorned it
C F C G C G C
And now in iron chains I'm bound and dooomed I now lie burning
[VERSE 8]
C F C F G C
And it's straight to Newgate I do go, all by the law convicted
F C G C F G
To hang all on the Tyburn tree, of which I'm much affrighted
G C F Bb C
Farewell my friends and neighbors all, likewise my native Tara
C F C G C G C
Kind providence may test the soul of Valentine O'Hara
