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 1]
C F C G
Oh father why are you so sad on this bright Easter morn,
C F C G C
When Irish men are proud and glad of the land where they were born,
G C F G
Oh son, I see in memories' view of far off distant days,
C F C G C
When being just a boy like you,I joined the I.R.A.
[Chorus]
G C F G
Where are the lads who stood with me when history was made,
C F C G C
Oh Gra Mo Criodh, I long to see, the boys of the old brigade.
[Verse 2]
C F C G
From hills and farms the call to arms was heard by one and all,
C F C G C
And from the glen came brave young men to answer Ireland's call.
G C F G
Was long ago we faced the foe the old brigade and me
C F C G C
And by my side they fought and died that Ireland might be free.
[Chorus]

C F C G
And now my boy I've told you why on Easter morn I sigh,
C F C G C
For I recall my comrades all of dark old days gone by,
G C F G
I think of men who fought in the glens with rifles and grenade.
C F C G C
May heaven keep the men who sleep, from the ranks of the old brigade.
