Please don’t get political in comments
Good song no matter your allegiance
Capo 6th fret
[VERSE 1]
When Dboyhoods fire was in my blood, I Gread of Aancient Dfree men
For DGreece and Rome who bravely stood three Ghundred Emmen and Athree men
And Athen I prayed I yet might see our Gfetters rent in Dtwain
And GIreland long a AProvence be a Dnation Aonce Dagain
[CHORUS]
A Dnation once Gagain, a Emnation once aAgain
And DIreland long a GProvence Abe a Dnation Aonce aDgain
[VERSE 2]
And fDrom that time through wildest woe that hGope has shAone a far Dlight
Nor cDould loves brightest summer glow outsGhine that sEmolemn stAarlight
It sAeemed to watch above my head in foGrum, field and fDane
Its Gangel voice sang rouAnd my bed a Dnation oAnce aDgain
[CHORUS]
A Dnation once Gagain, a Emnation once aAgain
And DIreland long a GProvence Abe a Dnation Aonce aDgain
[VERSE 3]
It Dwhispered to that freedoms ark and Gservice Ahigh and Dholy
Would Dbe prepared my feelings dark and Gpassions Emvain or Alowly
For Afreedom comes from God’s right hand and Gneeds a godly Dtrain
And Grighteous men must Amake our land a Dnation Aonce Dagain
[CHORUS]
A Dnation once Gagain, a Emnation once aAgain
And DIreland long a GProvence Abe a Dnation Aonce aDgain
[VERSE 4]
So Das I grew from boy to man I Gbent me Ato that Dbidding
My Dspirit of each selfish plan and Gcruel Empassion Aridding
For Athus I hope some day to aid oh Gcan such hope be Dvain
When Gmy dear country Ashould be made a Dnation Aonce Dagain 
[CHORUS]
A Dnation once Gagain, a Emnation once aAgain
And DIreland long a GProvence Abe a Dnation Aonce aDgain
