[Verse]
A E A
Ten years before I saw the light of morning,
A D
a comradeship of heroes was laid,
D E
from every corner of the world came sailing
E E7 A
the Fifth International Brigade.
E A
They came to stand beside the Spanish people,
A D
to try and stem the rising fascist tide,
D E
Franco's allies were the powerful and wealthy,
E E7 A
Frank Ryan's men came from the other side.
E A
Even the olives were bleeding,
A D
as the battle for Madrid it thundered on,
D E
truth and love against the force of evil,
E E7 A
brotherhood against the fascist clan.
[Chorus]
D
Viva la Quinta Brigada,
D E A
"No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight.
A C#m F#m
"Adelante" is the cry around the hillside,
D E A
let us all remember them tonight.
[Verse]
A E A
Bob Hilliard was a Church of Ireland pastor,
A D
form Killarney across the Pyrenees he came,
D E
from Derry came a brave young Christian Brother,
E E7 A
side by side they fought and died in Spain.
E A
Tommy Woods aged seventeen died in Cordoba,
A D
with Na Fianna he learned to hold his gun,
D E
from Dublin to the Villa del Rio,
E E7 A
where he fought and died beneath the blazing sun.
[Chorus]
D
Viva la Quinta Brigada,
D E A
"No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight.

let us all remember them tonight.
[Verse]
A E A
Many Irishmen heard the call of Franco,
A D
joined Hitler and Mussolini, too.
D E
Propaganda from the pulpit and newspapers,
E E7 A
helped O'Duffy to enlist his crew
E A
The word came from Maynooth, "support the Nazis!"
A D
The men of cloth failed again.
D E
When the Bishops blessed the Blueshirts in Dun Laoghaire,
E E7 A
as they sailed beneath the swastika to Spain.
[Chorus]
D
Viva la Quinta Brigada,

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

though many died, I can but name a few.

let us all remember them tonight.
