Liam Clancy - Patriot Game
CAPO: 1st Fret
[INTRO:] C G D G
[VERSE 1:]
C G D G
Come all ye young rebels, and list while I sing
D G C G Em
For the love of one's country___ is a terrible thing
D G C G Em
It banishes fear with the speed of a flame
G C G D G C G D G
And it makes us all a part of the patriot game
[VERSE 2:]
C G D G
My name is O'Hanlon and I've just gone sixteen
D G C G Em
My home is in Monaghan, where I was weaned
D G C G Em
I've learned all my life, cruel England to blame
G C G D G
And so I'm a part of the patriot game
[VERSE 3:]
C G D G
It's nearly two years since I wandered away
D G C G Em
With the local battalion___ of the bold IRA
D G C G Em
I've read of our heroes, and I wanted the same
G C G D G C G D G
To play out my part in the patriot game
[VERSE 4:]
C G D G
They told me how Connolly was shot in the chair
D G C G Em
His wounds from the battle all bleeding and bare
D G C G Em
His fine body twisted, all battered and lame
G C G D G
They soon made me part of the patriot game
[VERSE 5:]
C G D G
This Ireland of ours has for long been half free
D G C G Em
Six counties are under John Bull's tyranny
D G C G Em
So I gave up my boyhood___ to drill and to train
G C G D G C G D G
To play my own part in the patriot game
[VERSE 6:]
C G D G
And now as I lie here, my body all holes
D G C G Em
I think of those traitors who bargained in souls
D G C G Em
I wish that my rifle had given the same
G C G D G C G D G
To those quislings who sold out the patriot game
