[Verse]
F C F
Ten years before I saw the light of morning,
F A#
a comradeship of heroes was laid,
A# C
from every corner of the world came sailing
C C7 F
the Fifth International Brigade.

They came to stand beside the Spanish people,
F A#
to try and stem the rising fascist tide,
A# C
Franco's allies were the powerful and wealthy,
C C7 F
Frank Ryan's men came from the other side.
C F
Even the olives were bleeding,
F A#
as the battle for Madrid it thundered on,
A# C
truth and love against the force of evil,
C C7 F
brotherhood against the fascist clan.
[Chorus]

Viva la Quinta Brigada,

"No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight.
F Am Dm
"Adelante" is the cry around the hillside,
A# C F
let us all remember them tonight.
