[Chorus]
G
Up went Nelson in old Dublin
C G
Up went Nelson in old Dublin
Em
All along O'Connell Street the stones and rubble flew
Am D G
As up went Nelson and the pillar too
[Verse]
G
One early mornin' in the year of '66
C G
A band of Irish laddies were knockin' up some tricks
Em
They though Horatio Nelson had overstayed a mite
Am D G
So they helped him on his way with some sticks of gelignite
[Chorus]
G
Up went Nelson in old Dublin
C G
Up went Nelson in old Dublin
Em
All along O'Connell Street the stones and rubble flew
Am D G
As up went Nelson and the pillar too
[Verse]
G
The Irish population came from miles around
C G
To see the English hero lying on the ground
Em
The Dublin corporation had no funds to have it done
Am D G
But the pillar blew to pieces by the ton, ton, ton
[Chorus]
G
Up went Nelson in old Dublin
C G
Up went Nelson in old Dublin
Em
All along O'Connell Street the stones and rubble flew
Am D G
As up went Nelson and the pillar too
[Verse]
G
A crowd of lads and lassies from a dance nearby came out
C G
To see the bits of Nelson lyin' all about
Em
A gausone from the Coombe says we'll have to have a care
Am D G
In case the corpo-ration put King Billy there
[Chorus]
G
Up went Nelson in old Dublin
C G
Up went Nelson in old Dublin
Em
All along O'Connell Street the stones and rubble flew
Am D G
As up went Nelson and the pillar too
[Outro]
Am D G
As up went Nelson and the pillar too
