[Verse]
E B E
Ten years before I saw the light of morning,
E A
a comradeship of heroes was laid,
A B
from every corner of the world came sailing
B B7 E
the Fifth International Brigade.
B E
They came to stand beside the Spanish people,
E A
to try and stem the rising fascist tide,
A B
Franco's allies were the powerful and wealthy,
B B7 E
Frank Ryan's men came from the other side.
B E
Even the olives were bleeding,
E A
as the battle for Madrid it thundered on,
A B
truth and love against the force of evil,
B B7 E
brotherhood against the fascist clan.
[Chorus]
A
Viva la Quinta Brigada,
A B E
"No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight.
E G#m C#m
"Adelante" is the cry around the hillside,
A B E
let us all remember them tonight.

Tommy Woods aged seventeen died in Cordoba,

Propaganda from the pulpit and newspapers,

helped O'Duffy to enlist his crew

The word came from Maynooth, "support the Nazis!"

The men of cloth failed again.

When the Bishops blessed the Blueshirts in Dun Laoghaire,
