The Irish Brigade (song writer: Gerry O’Glacain)
Capo 2nd fret (key E) 3/4
[Verse 1]
ADmong the hills of Ggreen TyDrone an BmIrish Gsoldier Ddies
The youthful Martin GHurson, who for BmIreland gave his Alife
To upDhold his Gcountry’s BmdigniAty he Bmfollowed GBobby ASands
On Dhunger strike for Ghuman Drights 'til Bmdeath he Gtook his Dhand.
[Verse 2]
Through Ddreary days in that GH-Block Dcage; my Bmthoughts reGturn to Dyou
Though beaten low by Gsavage foe; your Bmmemories saw me Athrough
In Dtortured Gnights your Bmprayers brought Alight, and Bmsoothed my Gfears and Apain
And Dthough I’m gone you Gmust fight Don; ’til BmIreland is Gfree aDgain
[Verse 3]
Now Dgaunt and pale in my GH-Block Dcell; my Bmheart still Gburns aDflame
In fondest dreams I Gdrilled it seems aBmmong your hills aAgain
A Dguiding Glight to Bmlead the Afight to Bmfree my Ggreen TyArone
The Dvoice of truth for GIrish Dyouth to Bmcrush the GBritish Dthrone
[Verse 4]
FareDwell my native Ggreen TyDrone and you Bmmy sweet GBernaDdette
My parents and compGanions brave, I’m Bmwatching o’er you Ayet
Of DCappagh’s Gbraes, my Bmchildhood Adays; my Bmmemories GI reAcall
And Dso adieu to the Gland I love Dtrue, a Bmchairde Gslán go Dfóil
And Dso adieu to the Gland I love Dtrue, a Bmchairde Gslán go Dfóil

Among the hills of green Tyrone an Irish soldier dies
