Biography:
The Wolfe Tones is an Irish rebel music band that incorporates elements of Irish traditional music. Formed in 1963, their most recognizable line-up that lasted for nearly 37 years until January 2001 was brothers Brian Warfield and Derek Warfield, and Noel Nagle, and Tommy Byrne. The band take its name from the Irish rebel and patriot Theobald Wolfe Tone, one of the leaders of the Irish Rebellion of 1798, with the double entendre of a wolf tone – a spurious sound that can affect instruments of the violin family.

[Verse]
G C G
High upon the gallows tree swung the noble hearted three,
D
By the vengeful tyrant stricken in their bloom,
G C G
But they met them face to face, with the courage of their race,
D G
And they went with souls undaunted to their doom.
[Chorus]
G D
God save Ireland said the heroes, God save Ireland said they all,
G C G
Whether on the scaffold high, or the battlefield we die,
D G
Oh no matter when for Ireland dear we fall
[Verse]
G C G
Girt around with cruel foes, still their courage proudly rose,
D
For they thought with hearts that loved them far and near,
G C G
Of the millions true and brave, o'er the ocean swelling wave,
D G
And the friends of holy Ireland ever dear.
[Chorus]
G D
God save Ireland said the heroes, God save Ireland said they all,
G C G
Whether on the scaffold high, or the battlefield we die,
D G
Oh no matter when for Ireland dear we fall
[Verse]
G C G
Climed they up the rugged stair, rang their voices out in prayer,
D
Then with England's fatal cord around them cast,
G C G
Close beside the gallows tree, kissed like brothers lovingly,
D G
True to home and faith and freedom to the last.
[Chorus]
G D
God save Ireland said the heroes, God save Ireland said they all,
G C G
Whether on the scaffold high, or the battlefield we die,
D G
Oh no matter when for Ireland dear we fall
[Verse]
G C G
Never till the latest day shall their memories pass away,
D
O the gallant lives thus given for our land,
G C G
But on the cause must go, to the joy, the weal or woe,
D G
Till we make our isle a nation free and grand.
[Chorus]
