Boys Of The Old Brigade
G C G C D G
Oh, father why are you so sad on this bright Easter morn’
G C G D G
When Irish men are proud and glad of the land that they were born?
D G C D
Oh, son, I see in mem’ries few of far off distant days
G C G D G
When being just a lad like you
I joined the I.R.A.
G C G C D G
Where are the lads that stood with me when history was made?
G C G D G
A Ghra Mo Chroi, I long to see the boys of the old brigade.

From hills and farms a call to arms was heard by one and all.
G C G D G
And from the glen came brave young men to answer Ireland’s call.
G C G C D G
‘T wasn’t long ago we faced a foe, the old brigade and me,
G C G D G
And by my side they fought and died that Ireland might be free.

A Ghra Mo Chroi, I long to see the boys of the old brigade.
G C G C D G
And now, my boy, I’ve told you why on Easter morn’ I sigh,
G C G D G
For I recall my comrades all and dark old days gone by.
D G C D
I think of men who fought in glen with rifle and grenade.
G C G D G
May heaven keep the men who sleep from the ranks of the old brigade.
D G C D
Where are the lads that stood with me when history was made?

A Ghra Mo Chroi, I long to see the boys of the old brigade.

There are Irish songs and more. If you buy some downloads you will help to support an old musician. What a wonderful idea!
