[Verse 1]
[D]Aro[A]und the time I saw
the light of morn[D]ing
A comradeship of heroes [G]was laid
From every corner of the world
came [A]sailing
The Fifty International Bri[D]gade.

[Verse 2]
[A]They came to stand beside
the Spanish [D]people
To try and stem the rising
fascist [G]tide
Franco's allies were the
powerful and [A]wealthy
Frank Ryan's men came
from the other [D]side.

[Verse 3]
[A]Even the olives were bleeding[D]
As the battle for Madrid [G]it thundered on
Truth and love against the
force of [A]evil
Brotherhood against
the fascist clan.
[D][G]

[Verse 4]
Chorus:
Viva la Quinta Brigada,
No [A]Pasaran, the pledge that made
[D]them fight
Adelante was the cry around [Bm]the hillside
[G]Let us all re[A]member [D]them tonight.

[Verse 5]
Bob [A]Hilliard was a Church
of Ireland pas[D]tor
Form Killarney across
the Pyren[G]ees he came
From Derry came a brave
young Christian [A]Brother
And side by side they fought
and died [D]in Spain.

[Verse 6]
Tommy [A]Woods age seventeen
died in Cor[D]doba
With Na Fianna he learned [G]to hold his gun
From Dublin to the Villa del [A]Rio
He fought and died beneath the Spanish
[D]sun[G].

[Verse 7]
(Chorus) [A]Many
Irishmen heard the
call of Fran[D]co
Joined Hitler and [G]Mussolini too
Propaganda from the pulpit
and newspa[A]pers
Helped O'Duffy to enlist [D]his crew.

[Verse 8]
[A]The call came from Maynooth,
"support [D]the facists"
The men of cloth had failed yet [G]again
When the Bishops blessed the
Blueshirts in [A]Dun Laoghaire
As they sailed beneath the swastika to

[Interlude 2]
Spain.

Though many died I can
but name [D]a few.
