WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Dubliners - The Irish Navy Chords | Ver. 1
Someone told me since, the three vessel mentioned in the song
have been decommissioned and scr*pped decades ago and I
imagine there probably won't be a Russian invader anymore...
Chorus
G D
The Clíona, the Meabh and the Mucha
G C
The pride of the Irish navy
G D
When the Captain he blows on his whistle
G
All the sailors go home for their tea
G D
While the army is off in the Kongo
G C
In Cyprus or some foreign parts
G D
Our navy is strained to the limits
G
Deploying its nautical acts
G D
One day from the Russian invader
G C
Defending our very odd fish
G D
We found it was just the red herring
G
Chorus
Each year they go on manoeuvres
To prepare for defence they are keen
Sometimes it's the Lakes of Killarney
More often the pond in the Green
The can*l it could be of assistance
In defending our own holy ground
But due to proposed legislation
We'll have to sail all the way round
Chorus
We are a seafaring nation
Defence of our land is a right
We'd fight like the devil all morning
Provided we're home by the night
Chorus
