O father, why [C] are you so sad [G] on this bright Easter [D] _ morn?
[G] When _ Irishmen [C] are proud and glad [G] of the land [D] that they [G] were born.

When being just [C] a lad like you [G] I joined the IRA. _ _
Where are [D] the lads who stood [G] with me when [C] history [D] was _ made?
O _ Grummagree, [G] I long to see the boys of the old brigade. _ _
From hills and farms [C] the call to arms [G] was heard by one [D] and _ all.
[G] And from the glen [C] came brave young men [G] to [F#] answer [G] Ireland's _ call.
[D] Was long ago we faced [G] a foe, the old brigade and [D] me.
[G] And by my side [C] they fought and died [G] that Ireland might be _ free.

[G] For I recall [C] my comrades all [G] of dark old days gone by.
[D] I think of [Am] men who [G] fought in glens with rifle [C] and [D] grenade. _
[G] May heaven keep [C] the men who sleep [G] from the ranks of the old brigade.
_ [D] Where are the lads who [G] stood with me when [C] history [D] was _ made?
