G

You came to me with one idea,

But left me with another.

Em

And though that plan will cost our lives

I'm proud to call you brother

G

I shadowed you through city streets

My teacher till the last 

Em

You said 'The beauty of the world

                                         C

Hath made you sad, This beauty now will pass'



C

You start out with good intentions

To help restore our fallen nation (Call you brother)

Em                                                     C

When thinking of the cost I never thought you'd be the one

G

My thoughts now turn to these past few weeks

When we were side by side

Em

With Joe and Tom and Jim and Sean

We stood against the tide

G

Teachers, poets, dreamers, men

Heroes unto me

Em

Through words and deeds and actions past

                                       C

I thank them all, they taught me to be free

You start out with good intentions

To help restore our fallen nation (Call you brother)

G

Now I sit in my darkened cell

The morning close at hand

Em

I pray to God for mother dear

That she will understand

G

They'll say to you that we were wrong

And traitors of us make

Em

But generations still to come, will praise your sons 

                                   C

Who died for Irelands sake.
