[Verse]
G# D# G#
Ten years before I saw the light of morning,
G# C#
a comradeship of heroes was laid,
C# D#
from every corner of the world came sailing
D# D#7 G#
the Fifth International Brigade.
D# G#
They came to stand beside the Spanish people,
G# C#
to try and stem the rising fascist tide,
C# D#
Franco's allies were the powerful and wealthy,
D# D#7 G#
Frank Ryan's men came from the other side.
D# G#
Even the olives were bleeding,
G# C#
as the battle for Madrid it thundered on,
C# D#
truth and love against the force of evil,
D# D#7 G#
brotherhood against the fascist clan.
[Chorus]
C#
Viva la Quinta Brigada,
C# D# G#
"No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight.
G# Cm Fm
"Adelante" is the cry around the hillside,
C# D# G#
let us all remember them tonight.

Tommy Woods aged seventeen died in Cordoba,

Many Irishmen heard the call of Franco,
G# C#
joined Hitler and Mussolini, too.

Propaganda from the pulpit and newspapers,
D# D#7 G#
helped O'Duffy to enlist his crew
D# G#
The word came from Maynooth, "support the Nazis!"
G# C#
The men of cloth failed again.
C# D#
When the Bishops blessed the Blueshirts in Dun Laoghaire,
D# D#7 G#
as they sailed beneath the swastika to Spain.
[Chorus]
