neil r Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 As the title suggests anyone know what they are? Or even what the original name of the tune is amd I could look it up that way. Something sticks in my head about an Irish Regiment during WWI singing it -possibly using the tune from an old hymn or some such thing- but that could just be nonsense. Googlifying just returns some Calvin Harris pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil r Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Cheers but Googling it with the letters UVF included still brings up Calvin Harris or info on In vitro fertilisation Tried to watch the Tartan Specials doing it live on You Tube but the quality isnt good enough to make out.

Toepoke Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Original lyrics... In 1912 a home rule bill England would imposeAnd so Lord Carson he did raise an army to opposeBut off to France our boys were sent and Lord Carson he did sayGo take our sons and tell the huns that we are on our wayAnd were comin were comin we are comin down the roadWere the volunteers of the U.V.F. and were comin down the roadWere comin were comin we are comin down the roadWere the volunteers of the U.V.F. and were comin down the road As for the chords, there's only three should be easy enough to work them out!

Toepoke Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 As for the chords, there's only three should be easy enough to work them out! I'm lying, there's actually four. Picked up the wean's guitar there and gave it a bash. Start on G and alternate with C, then when you get to "boys" play E minor, and finish with G-D-G.
