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