[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Come [G]all ye [C]young rebels,
[G]and lis[D]t while I sin[G]g,
For the [D]love of one's
[G]country is a [D]terrible [G]thing
It [D]banishes [G]fear with the [D]speed of [G]a flame,
And it makes you [C]all part [G]of
[D]the patriot gam[G]e
[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]
My name is O'Hanlon,
[C]and[G] I've just gone sixtee[D]n[G]
My [D]home is in [G]Monaghan,
and there [D]I was w[G]eaned
I was [D]taught all my [G]life cruel
[D]England's to [G]blame,
So now I am [C]part [G]of the pat
[D]riot [G]game
[C]

[Verse 3]
[G]
It's barely two [C]years [G]since
I [D]wandered [G]away
With the [D]local [G]battalion
of the [D]bold [G]IR A,
For I [D]read of our [G]heroes,
and [D]wanted [G]the same
To play out my [C]part [G]in [D]the patriot [G]game

[Verse 4]
[G]
This Ireland [C]of ours [G]has
too [D]long been [G]half free
Six [D]counties [G]lie under John Bul[D]l's tyr[G]anny
And most of our leaders are greatly to blame
For shirking their [C]part [G]in [D]the Patri
[G]ot game
[C]

[Verse 5]
[G]
They told of how [C]Connolly
[G]was sho[D]t in his cha[G]ir,
The [D]wounds from the [G]fighting
all [D]bloody and [G]bare
His [D]fine body [G]twisted,
[D]all battered and [G]lame
And they soon made [C]me part [G]of
[D]the patriot [G]game
[C]

[Verse 6]
[G][F#]
And now I [C]am [B]dying,
[F#]my body all hole[F#]s[G]
I [D]think of those [G]trait[F#] ors[G]
[F#]who barg[D]ained in s[F#]ouls[G]
I am sorry [D]my [G]rifle [F#]has[G]
not [D]done [F#]the same
To those traitors who [C]sold [F#]out
the pat[D]riot [G]game

[Outro 1]
