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 D7 G
the Fifth International Brigade.

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 D7 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 D7 G
brotherhood against the fascist clan.
[Chorus]

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

"Adelante" is the cry around the hillside,
C D G
let us all remember them tonight.
