[Verse]
D A D
Ten years before I saw the light of morning,
D G
a comradeship of heroes was laid,
G A
from every corner of the world came sailing
A A7 D
the Fifth International Brigade.
A D
They came to stand beside the Spanish people,
D G
to try and stem the rising fascist tide,
G A
Franco's allies were the powerful and wealthy,
A A7 D
Frank Ryan's men came from the other side.
A D
Even the olives were bleeding,
D G
as the battle for Madrid it thundered on,
G A
truth and love against the force of evil,
A A7 D
brotherhood against the fascist clan.
[Chorus]
G
Viva la Quinta Brigada,
G A D
"No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight.
D F#m Bm
"Adelante" is the cry around the hillside,
G A D
let us all remember them tonight.
[Verse]
D A D
Bob Hilliard was a Church of Ireland pastor,
D G
form Killarney across the Pyrenees he came,
G A
from Derry came a brave young Christian Brother,
A A7 D
side by side they fought and died in Spain.
A D
Tommy Woods aged seventeen died in Cordoba,
D G
with Na Fianna he learned to hold his gun,
G A
from Dublin to the Villa del Rio,
A A7 D
where he fought and died beneath the blazing sun.
[Chorus]
G
Viva la Quinta Brigada,
G A D
"No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight.

let us all remember them tonight.

D A D
Many Irishmen heard the call of Franco,
D G
joined Hitler and Mussolini, too.
G A
Propaganda from the pulpit and newspapers,
A A7 D
helped O'Duffy to enlist his crew
A D
The word came from Maynooth, "support the Nazis!"
D G
The men of cloth failed again.
G A
When the Bishops blessed the Blueshirts in Dun Laoghaire,
A A7 D
as they sailed beneath the swastika to Spain.

Viva la Quinta Brigada,

"No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight.

let us all remember them tonight.

though many died, I can but name a few.

let us all remember them tonight.
