Chords for A Father's Advice

_ _ _ [C] This Loyalist tape is the first step on the long road of re-establishing the [C] Loyalist tradition of [F] recounting in [F] song,
stories of patriotism, [G]
courage,
_ sacrifice and resolve,
relating to our heritage of freedom [C] and British way of life.
_ The following ballads are new and hitherto unheard, and they are a further addition to that vast [F] reservoir of words and melodies which,
[Dm] like the Ulster Loyalists [C] themselves,
[G] have withstood the twin barbs of time and violent onslaught. _ _ _
This tape is respectfully and humbly dedicated
to [B] the memory of those [F] countless and unsung thousands of our people,
who have, [G] down through the turbulent centuries, lifted voice,
pen or hand [C] in the defense of our malign but still proud beleaguered Ulster. _ _ _

The _ _ _ _ _ lonely volunteers

[F] _ _ _ _
