Chords with lyrics

G+G       C majorC
Oh, father why are you so sad
   G+G         D MajorD
On this bright Easter morn'
   G+G        C majorC
When Irish men are proud and glad
    G+G     D MajorD    G+G
Of the land that they were born?
   D MajorD           G+G
Oh, son, I see in mem'ries few
      C majorC    D MajorD
Of far off distant days
   G+G      C majorC
When being just a lad like you
  G+G     D MajorD G+G
I joined the Ira

   D MajorD              G+G
Where are the lads that stood with me
     C majorC   D MajorD
When history was made?
              C majorC
A augmentedA Ghra Mo Chroi, I long to see
  G+G      D MajorD   G+G
The boys of the old brigade

   G+G         C majorC
From hills and farms a call to arms
  G+G        D MajorD
Was heard by one and all
  G+G         C majorC
And from the glen came brave young men
  G+G   D MajorD     G+G
To answer Ireland's call
     D MajorD          G+G
'T wasn't long ago we faced a foe
      C majorC    D MajorD
The old brigade and me
  G+G        C majorC
And by my side they fought and died
   G+G    D MajorD    G+G
That Ireland might be free

   D MajorD              G+G
Where are the lads that stood with me
     C majorC   D MajorD
When history was made?
              C majorC
A augmentedA Ghra Mo Chroi, I long to see
  G+G      D MajorD   G+G
The boys of the old brigade

  G+G         C majorC
And now, my boy, I've told you why
  G+G       D MajorD
On Easter morn' I sigh
  G+G      C majorC
For I recall my comrades all
  G+G    D MajorD     G+G
And dark old days gone by
 D MajorD              G+G
I think of men who fought in glen
      C majorC   D MajorD
With rifle and grenade
  G+G        C majorC
May heaven keep the men who sleep
     G+G      D MajorD   G+G
From the ranks of the old brigade

   D MajorD              G+G
Where are the lads that stood with me
     C majorC   D MajorD
When history was made?
              C majorC
A augmentedA Ghra Mo Chroi, I long to see
  G+G      D MajorD   G+G
