Oh father why are you so sad on this bright Easter morn,
C F C G C
When Irish men are proud and glad of the land where they were born,
G C F G
Oh son, I see in memories' view of far off distant days,
C F C G C
When being just a boy like you,I joined the I.R.A.(Provisional wing)
(chorus)
G C F G
Where are the lads who stood with me when history was made,
C F C G C
Oh Gra Mo Criodh, I long to see, the boys of the old brigade.
From hills and farms the call to arms was heard by one and all,
And from the glen came brave young men to answer Ireland's call.
Was long ago we faced the foe the old brigade and me
And by my side they fought and died that Ireland might be free.
(repeat chorus)
And now my boy I've told you why on Easter morn I sigh,
For I recall my comrades all of dark old days gone by,
I think of men who fought in the glens with rifles and grenade.
May heaven keep the men who sleep, from the ranks of the old brigade.
(repeat chorus)
enjoy this republician oldie and if you have any wolfe tones or other rebel
songs e-mail them to me at thedaragon@hotmail.com

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official WOLFE TONES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
