The Patriot Game by Dominic Behan
G# C# G# D# G#
Come all ye young rebels, and list while I sing,
D# G# Cm G#
For the love of one's country is a terrible thing.
D# G# Cm Fm
It banishes fear with the speed of a flame
G# C# G# D# G#
And it makes us all part of the patriot game.
G# C# G# D# G#
My name is O'Hanlon, and I've just turned sixteen.
D# G# Cm G#
My home is in Monaghan, where I was weaned.
D# G# Cm Fm
I learned all my life cruel England to blame,
G# C# G# D# G#
So now I am part of the patriot game.
G# C# G# D# G#
This Ireland of ours has too long been half free;
D# G# Cm G#
Six counties lie under John Bull's tyranny.
D# G# Cm Fm
But still De Valera is greatly to blame
G# C# G# D# G#
For shirking his part in the patriot game.
G# C# G# D# G#
They told me how Connolly was shot in his chair,
D# G# Cm G#
His wounds from the fighting all bloody and bare.
D# G# Cm Fm
His fine body twisted, all battered and lame;
G# C# G# D# G#
They soon made me part of the patriot game.
G# C# G# D# G#
I don't mind a bit if I shoot down police
D# G# Cm G#
They are lackeys for war, never guardians of peace
D# G# Cm Fm
And yet at deserters I'm never let aim
G# C# G# D# G#
The rebels who sold out the patriot game.
G# C# G# D# G#
It's nearly two years since I wandered away
D# G# Cm G#
With the local battalion of the bold IRA,
D# G# Cm Fm
I've read of our heroes, and I wanted the same,
G# C# G# D# G#
To play out my part in the patriot game.
G# C# G# D# G#
And now as I lie here, my body all holes,
D# G# Cm G#
I think of those traitors who bargained in souls
D# G# Cm Fm
And I wish that my rifle had given the same
G# C# G# D# G#
To those quislings who sold out the patriot game.
