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