[Intro 1]
[G][Em][C][G]

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

[Verse 2]
[G]
My name is [C]O'Han[G]lon,
and I'm [D]just gone six[G]teen
My [D]home is in [G]Monaghan,
and [C]where I was [G]weaned
I've [D]learned all my [G]life,
cruel [C]England's to [G]blame
And so I'm a [C]part [G]of the [D]patriot game
[G]

[Verse 3]
This Ireland of [C]ours [G]has for
[D]long been half [G]free
Six [D]counties [G]lie under
John [C]Bull's [G]tyranny
So we [D]gave [C]up our [G]boyhood
to [C]drill and to [G]train
To play our [C]own part [G]in the [D]patriot game

[Interlude 1]
[G]

[Verse 4]
[C]It's barely two years sin[Em]ce
[C]they [D]wandered [G]away
and it [D]was with the local bat
[Em]talion of the [G]bold [C]IRA[G]
For they'd [D]read of our her[Em]oes,
and they wanted [C]the same[G]
To play their [C]own part in
the [D]patriot game

[Interlude 2]
[G]

[Verse 5]
And [G]now as I [C]lie [G]here,
my [D]body all [G]holes
I [D]think of those [G]traitors
who [C]bargained in [G]souls
I [D]wish that my [G]rifle had [C]given the [G]same
To those Quis[G]lings who
[C]sold [G]out [D]the patriot game
