Intro

D G D Bm A D

DI am Kilrain and I'm a fightin' man and I come from County CGlare

 And the Brits would hang me for a FDenian so I took me leave of tBmhere

 And I crDossed the ocean in the "Arrianne", the vilest tub aGfloat

 And the captain's brother was a railroad mDan and he met us at the Bmboat

 So I Ajoined up with the 20th Maine lGike I said my friend I'm a fighting Aman

 And we're Dmarchin' sEmouth in the poF♯muring raGin

 We're Aall goin' down to DDixieland

DI am Kilrain of the 20th Maine and we fight for ChamberGlain

 'Cause he stood right with us when the JDohnnies came like a banshee on the Bmwind

 In the sDmoke smeared hell of Gettysburg many a mother Gwept

 For many a good boy dDied there, sure, and the air smelt just like Bmdeath

 I aAm the Kilrain of the 20th Maine and I Gmarched to hell and back aAgain

 For DColonel EmJoshua F♯mChamberGlain -

 we're Aall goin' down to GDixieland

 I Dam the Kilrain of the 20th Maine and I damn all gentleGmen

 Whose only worth is their father's Dname and the sweat of a workin' Bmman

 Well we Dcome from the farms and the city streets and a hundred foreign Glands

 And we spilled our blood in the battle's hDeat Now we're all BmAmericans

 I aAm the Kilrain of the 20th Maine did I Gtell you friend I'm a fightin' Aman

 And I'll Dnot be Emback this F♯mway agGain,

 'cause we're Aall goin' down to DGixieland
