[Verse]
F# C# F#
Ten years before I saw the light of morning,
F# B
a comradeship of heroes was laid,
B C#
from every corner of the world came sailing
C# C#7 F#
the Fifth International Brigade.
C# F#
They came to stand beside the Spanish people,
F# B
to try and stem the rising fascist tide,
B C#
Franco's allies were the powerful and wealthy,
C# C#7 F#
Frank Ryan's men came from the other side.
C# F#
Even the olives were bleeding,
F# B
as the battle for Madrid it thundered on,
B C#
truth and love against the force of evil,
C# C#7 F#
brotherhood against the fascist clan.
[Chorus]

Viva la Quinta Brigada,
B C# F#
"No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight.
F# A#m D#m
"Adelante" is the cry around the hillside,
B C# F#
let us all remember them tonight.

When the Bishops blessed the Blueshirts in Dun Laoghaire,

as they sailed beneath the swastika to Spain.
