The patriot's game
Dominic Behan
Capo 3
DCome all ye young GreDbels, and Alist while I Dsing, G D
For the Glove of one's DcounGtry is a Aterrible Dthing. G D
It Gbanishes Dfear Glike the Aspeed of a Dflame, G D
And it Dmakes us all Gpart Dof the Apatriot's Dgame.
My Dname is O'GHanDlon, and I've Ajust turned sixDteen. G D
My Ghome is in DMonagGhan, and Athere I was Dweaned G D
I was Gtold all my Dlife Gcruel AEngland's to Dblame, G D
So Dnow I am Gpart Dof the Apatriot's Dgame. G D
This DIreland of Gours Dhas too Along been half Dfree. G D
Six Gcounties lie DunGder John ABull's tyraDnny. G D
But Gstill De VaDleGra is Agreatly to Dblame G D
For Dshirking his Gpart Din the Apatriot's Dgame. G D
They Dtold me how CoGnnoDlly was Ashot in his Dchair, G D
His Gwounds from the DbaGttle all Ableeding and Dbare. G D
His Gfine body DtwisGted, all Abattered and Dlame G D
They Dsoon made me Gpart Dof the Apatriot's Dgame. G D
It's Dnearly two Gyears Dsince I Awandered aDway G D
With the Glocal baDttalGion of the Abold IRDA, G D
For I Gread of our DheGroes, and Awanted the Dsame G D
To Dplay out my Gpart Din the Apatriot's Dgame. G D
And Dnow as I Glie Dhere, my Abody all Dholes G D
I Gthink of those DtraiGtors who Abargained in Dsouls G D
And I Gwish that my DriGfle had Anot done the Dsame G D
To those DQuislings who Gsold Dout the Apatriot's Dgame. G D
