[C]
Ten years before I saw the light of morning,
A comradeship of heroes [F] was laid.
From every corner of the world [G] came sailing
The 15th International [C] Brigade.
[G] They came to stand beside the [C] Spanish people
To try and stem the rising [F] fascist times.
Franco's allies were the powerful [G] and wealthy,
Franco-Ryan's men came from the [C] other side.
[G] Even the [C] olives were bleeding.
As the battle for Madrid [F] thundered on,
Truth and love against the [G] force of evil,
Brotherhood against the [C] fascist clan.
[F] Viva la Quinta Brigada!
The pastor [G] and the pledge [C] made them fight,
Atlantic [Em] was the cry [Am] around that hillside.
[F] Let us [G] all remember [C] them tonight.
[G] Papa Hélère was a church of [C] iron and plaster,
From Calarny across the [F] Pyrenees he came.
From Derry came a brave young [G] Christian brother.
Side by side they fought and [C] died in Spain,
[G] Tommy Wootzay, 17, [C] died in Cordoba.
With a piano he learned to [F] hold his gun.
From Dublin to the [G] Piazza del Grio,
Where they fought and died beneath the [C] blazing sun.
[F] Viva la Quinta Brigada!
The pastor [G] and the pledge [C] made them fight,
Atlantic [Em] was the cry [Am] around that hillside.
[F] Let [G] us all remember [C] them tonight.
[G] Many Irishmen heard the [C] call of Franco,
He joined Hitler and [F] Mussolini too.
Propaganda from the pulpits [G] and newspapers,
Helped old Duffy to [C] enlift his group.
[G] Then the word came from a note [C] supporting Nazis,
The men of Colossi failed [F] yet again.
And when the bishops blessed the blue [G] shirts in Dunreary,
They sailed beneath the [C] swastika to Spain.
[F] Viva la Quinta Brigada!
The pastor [G] and the pledge made [C] them fight,
Atlantic [Em] was the cry [Am] around that hillside.
[F] Let [G] us all remember [C] them tonight.
[G] This song is a tribute [C] to Frank Wright,
Dick Conway and Timmy [F] Cody too,
Peter Daly, Charlie Reagan [G] and Hugh Bonner.
Well many died, I can't but [C] name a few.
[G] Danny Doyle, Blazer Brown [C] and Charlie Donnery,
Liam Thomason and Jim Strainy [F] from the balls,
Jack Nelty, Tommy Patton [G] and Frank Conroy,
Jim Crowley, Tony Fox [C] and Dick O'Neill.
[F] Viva la Quinta Brigada!
