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.
[D] O son, I see in memory [G] too of far [C] off [G] distant [D] _ _
[G] days
When being just [C] a lad like you [G] I joined the IRA. _ _
[D] Where are the lads who stood with [G] me when [C] history [D] was made?
O Graham [G] McRee, I long to see the lives 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 [D] answer [G] Ireland's call.
[D] Was long [Am] ago we [G] faced a foe, the old brigade [D] and me. _
[G] And by my side [C] they fought and died [G] that Ireland might be _ free.
[D] Where are the lads [G] who stood with me when [C] history [G] was [D] _
made?
O Graham McRee, I [G] long to see the lives of the old brigade. _

_ now my boy [C] I've told you why [G] on Easter morn [D] I sigh.
[G] For I recall [C] my comrades all [G] of dark old days gone by.
[D] I think of men who fought [G] in glens with rifle [C] [G] and [D] grenade. _
[G] May heaven keep [C] the men who sleep [G] from the ranks [Am] of the old [G] brigade. _
Where [D] are the lads [Am] who [G] stood with me when [C] history [D] was _ made?
O Graham McRee, [G] I long [D] to see [G] the lives of the old brigade. _
Where [Am] are the [D] lads who stood with [G] me when _ history was [D] _
made?
O Graham McRee, [G] I long to see the lives of the old brigade. _
