[Verse]
C# G# C#
Ten years before I saw the light of morning,
C# F#
a comradeship of heroes was laid,
F# G#
from every corner of the world came sailing
G# G#7 C#
the Fifth International Brigade.
G# C#
They came to stand beside the Spanish people,
C# F#
to try and stem the rising fascist tide,
F# G#
Franco's allies were the powerful and wealthy,
G# G#7 C#
Frank Ryan's men came from the other side.
G# C#
Even the olives were bleeding,
C# F#
as the battle for Madrid it thundered on,
F# G#
truth and love against the force of evil,
G# G#7 C#
brotherhood against the fascist clan.
[Chorus]
F#
Viva la Quinta Brigada,
F# G# C#
"No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight.
C# Fm A#m
"Adelante" is the cry around the hillside,
F# G# C#
let us all remember them tonight.
[Verse]
C# G# C#
Bob Hilliard was a Church of Ireland pastor,
C# F#
form Killarney across the Pyrenees he came,
F# G#
from Derry came a brave young Christian Brother,
G# G#7 C#
side by side they fought and died in Spain.
G# C#
Tommy Woods aged seventeen died in Cordoba,
C# F#
with Na Fianna he learned to hold his gun,
F# G#
from Dublin to the Villa del Rio,
G# G#7 C#
where he fought and died beneath the blazing sun.
[Chorus]
F#
Viva la Quinta Brigada,

C# G# C#
Many Irishmen heard the call of Franco,
C# F#
joined Hitler and Mussolini, too.
F# G#
Propaganda from the pulpit and newspapers,
G# G#7 C#
helped O'Duffy to enlist his crew
G# C#
The word came from Maynooth, "support the Nazis!"
C# F#
The men of cloth failed again.
F# G#
When the Bishops blessed the Blueshirts in Dun Laoghaire,
G# G#7 C#
as they sailed beneath the swastika to Spain.
[Chorus]
F#
Viva la Quinta Brigada,
F# G# C#
"No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight.
