	  		Intro: F C Am G G C F G C  

Verse 1:
       F      C            Am             G 
Last Saturday morning, our horns they did blow 
       C              Am                 G            C 
To the green fields of Tassen, where the huntsmen did go 
       F             C                    F     C  G 
For to meet the bold sportsmen from round Keady Town 
         F              Am              Fmaj7       G 
And none love the sport better than the boys from Maydown 

Verse 2:
        F          C               Am           G 
Oh, and when we arrived, they were all standing there 
      C           Am               G           C 
So we took to the green fields, in search of a hare 
   F           C            F          C G 
We hadn't gone far when someone gave a cheer 
     F             Am          Fmaj7          G 
Over hills and high meadows the puss she did steer. 

Verse 3:
         F          C           Am            G 
When she got to the heather she tried them to shun 
        C          Am          G                C 
But the dogs never missed, one inch where she'd run 
     F         C                 F        C G 
They kept well packed when going over the hill 
        F              Am            Fmaj7       G 
For the hounds had set out the sweet hare for to kill 

Verse 4:
         F         C             Am            G 
With our dogs all abreast and the big mountain hare 
        C             Am        G               C 
And the sweet charming music it rang through the air 
         F             C           F             C G 
Straight for the Black Bank for to try them once more 
       F            Am             Fmaj7         G 
But it was her last sight round the hills of Granemore 


Verse 5:
        F             C               Am           G 
Oh, and as we trailed on to where the hare she did lie 
    C             Am          G            C 
She sprang to her feet for to bid them goodbye 
            F         C             F            C G 
Well, their music did cease and the cry we could hear 

       F             Am               Fmaj7         G 
Saying cursed be the ones, brought you Maydown dogs here

Verse 6:
     F          C           Am           G 
Last night as I lay quite content in the glen 
       C        Am              G          C 
It was little I thought then of dogs or of men 
    F          C           F              C G 
But when going home at the clear break of day 
         F            Am              Fmaj7      G 
I could hear the long dogs round Young Tornerdon Bay 

Verse 7:
       F        C        Am            G 
And it being so early, I stopped for a while, 
        C       Am                G             C 
It was little I thought they were going to meet Coyle 
   F       C                  F            C G 
If I had known that I'd have lain near the town 
   F            Am             Fmaj7         G 
Or tried to get clear of those dogs from May Down 

Verse 8:
    F            C             Am           G 
And now that I'm dying and the sport is all done 
   C                Am              G          C 
No more through the green fields of Keady I'll run 
    F           C         F             C  G 
Nor feed in the glen on a cold winter's night 
      F          Am           Fmaj7         G 
Or go home to my den when it's breaking day light 

Verse 9:
  F          C        Am              G 
A curse on McMahon for bringing Coyle here 
          C           Am        G        C 
He's been at the same caper for many's a year 
     F         C            F          C G 
From Friday to Sunday, he'd never give o'er 
       F               Am             Fmaj7          G 
With a pack of strange dogs 'round the hills of Granemore
