Come [G]all you
young [C]rebels [G]and lis[D]t while I sin[G]g[C][G]
For [D]the love of one's [G]country
[C]is a t[G]errible thi[Em]ng[C]
It [D]banished [G]fear [C]with the speed
[G]of a fla[Em]me[C]
And it [G]makes us all [C]part [G]of
[D]the patriot game
[G][C]

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

[Verse 3]
[G]
It's barely two [C]years [G]since I
[D]wandered [G]away[C][G]
With [D]a local [G]bat[C]talion
of [G]the bold [Em]IRA[C]
I've [D]read of our [G]her[C]oes
and I [G]wanted [Em]the same[C]
Just to [G]play my own [C]part [G]in the
[D]patriot game

[Verse 4]
[G]This of [C]ours [G]has for [D]long
been half [G]free[C][G]
Six [D]counties are [G]under [C]John
[G]Bull's [Em]tyranny[C]
So [D]I gave up my [G]boyhood[C]
[G]to drill and to [Em]train[C]
And to [G]play my own [C]part [G]in
[D]the patriot game
[G][C]

[Verse 5]
[G]
And now as I [C]lie [G]here
my [D]body all [G]holes[C][G]
I [D]think of those [G]trait[C]ors who
[G]bargained and [Em]sold[C]
And I [D]wish that my [G]rifle [C]had
[G]given [Em]the same[C]
[G]To those Quislings who [C]sold
[G]out [D]the patriot game
[G][C]

[Verse 6]
[G]
So come all you young [C]rebels[G]
and [D]list while I [G]sing[C][G]
For [D]the love of one's [G]country
[C]is a t[G]errible thi[Em]ng[C]
It [D]banished [G]fear [C]with the speed
[G]of a f[Em]lame[C]
And [G]it makes us all [C]part [G]of
[D]the patriot game
