Verse 1
G C G Come all you young rebels D G And list' while we sing D G For the love of one's country C G Is a terrible thing. D G It banishes fear with C G the speed of a flame C G And it makes us all part of D G the patriot game.
Verse 2
G C G My name is O'Hanlon, D G And I'm just gone sixteen, D G My home is in Monaghan, C G Where I was weaned, D G I've learned all my life C G Cruel England's to blame, C G And so I'm a part of D G the patriot game.
Verse 3
C G This Ireland of ours has D G for long been half free, D G Six counties are under C G John Bull's tyranny, D G So we gave up our boyhoods C G to drill and to train, C G And play our own part in D G the patriot game.
Verse 4
(This version lyrics spoken, not sung)
C G
It's barely two years since
D G
they wandered away,
D G
and it was with the local battalion
C G
of the bold I.R.A.
D G
For they'd read of our heroes
C G
and they wanted the same,
C G
To play their own part in
D G
the patriot game.Verse 5
C G And now as I lie here, D G My body all holes, D G I think of those traitors, C G Who bargained in souls, D G I wish that my rifle C G had given the same, C G To those quislings who sold out D G the patriot game.
