Chords for Viva La Quinta Brigada - Christy Moore ( live - Glasgow Barrowland)

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I sang this song here one night in 1986
and _ _ my guitar broke down and I had to leave the stage and the audience didn't even notice. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And [G] ten years before I saw the [C] light of the morn
A common ship appeared off the [F] lake _
The memory coroner of [G] Kent said _
The 15th International _ [C] Brigade _
[G] Back in the scum we saw the Spanish [C] big
The trine stemmed the rising [F] fascist tides
Because allies were in a peril [G] of full and low _
Frank Ryan soon came from the other [C] side _ _
_ [G] Even the olives [C] were bleeding _
As the battle for Madrid had [F] come along _
Truth and love against the [G] force of evil _
_ _ Brotherhood against the [C] fascist blood _
_ [F] Viva la Quinta Brigada _
No fuss [G] around the pledge that men [C] and women
Are the [Em] martyrs that cry [Am] around [C] the grave
_ [F] Let [G] us remember [C] that _ _
Bob Gillard [G] was the Church of [C] Ireland last night
From Killarney across the [F] Pyrenees he came
From there he came a brave young [G] Christian brother
Side by side he fought and [C] died in Spain
Tommy [G] Wood aged 17 died [C] in Cordova _
But to see and how he learned to [F] hold a gun _
From Dublin to the D [G].H.L. Rio
Ready for him died beneath the [C] Spanish sun _
_ [F] _ Viva la Quinta Brigada _
No fuss [G] around the pledge that [C] men and women _
Are the [Em] martyrs that cry [Am] around _ [C] _
_ [F] the grave
Let [G] us remember [C] that _ _
[G] When the Irishmen heard the call [C] of Trimble
_ Joined Hitler and [F] Mussolini too
The propaganda from the Polk and [G] Angus papers
Had got the meat together [C] of this group _
[G] And the words came from the church [C] support the mass _
_ Then it lovely [F] failed again _
The bishops blessed the blue shirts [G] down in Galway
As they sailed beneath the swastika [C] of Spain _
_ [F] _ Viva la Quinta Brigada _
No fuss [G] around the pledge that [C] men and women _
Are the [Em] martyrs that cry [A] around the grave
[C]
Let [F] _ [G] us remember [C] that _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] And this song is a tribute [C] to Frank Ryer
To Tom Wayne and to Nicode [F] too
_ To Dardell, Charlie Reagan [G] and Hugh Barrow
Done many died again but [C] never feared
_ [G] Many boys, Les O'Brien and [C] Charlie Dunn
_ Liv Tomlinson and Jim Straney [F] from Shortstown
_ Jack Nelke, Tommy Patton [G] and the Chubb-R-R-I
Jim Foley, Tony Fox and [C] Devon
_ _ _ [F] Viva la Quinta Brigada
_ No fuss [G] around the pledge that [C] men and women
_ _ Are the [Em] martyrs that cry around [Am] _ _ [C] _ [F] the grave
Let [G] us remember [Am] that
_ _ _ [F] Viva [G] la Quinta [C] Brigada
Let [F] _ [G] us remember [F#] them
_ _ [G] _ [F] Viva [G] la Quinta [C] Brigada
_ _ [F] Let [G] us remember [Am] them
_ _ [F] _ _ [G] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _
