This is a nice sort of an IRA tune with lyrics that tells the story of soldiers marching along and that Ireland will be one again someday

On The One Road

G                                                        C      G
We're on the one road, sharing the one load
                      C           G                D
We're on the road to God knows where
                       G                                    Em
We're on the one road, it may be the wrong road
                     Am                      D
But we're together now who cares?
G                              Em
Northmen, Southmen, comrades all!
A                        D
Dublin, Belfast, Cork or Donegal!
                       G                             Am                     A     D     G
We're on the one road, swinging along, singin' a soldier's song

Em
Though we've had our troubles now and then
G
Now's the time to make them up again
Em
Sure aren't we all Irish anyhow?
A                            D
Now is the time to step together now CHORUS

Em
Tinker, tailor every mother's son
G
Butcher, baker shouldering his gun
Em
Rich man, poor man every man in line
A                  D
All together, just like Auld Lang Syne! CHORUS

Em
Night is darkness just before the dawn
G
From dissensions, Ireland is reborn
Em
Soon, will all United Irishmen
A                         D
Make our land a Nation Once Again! CHORUS
