Viva la Cinque Brigada (Christy Moore) Capo1
C Ten years be G fore I saw the light of C morning
A comradeship of heroes was F laid
From every corner of the world came G sailing
The G Fifth G7 International C Brigade
C They came to G stand beside the Spanish C people
To try and stem the rising fascist F tide
Franco's allies were the powerful and G wealthy
Frank G Ryan's G7 men came from the other C side
C Even the G olives were C bleeding
As the battle for Madrid it thundered F on
Truth and love against the force of G evil
Brother G hood G7 against the fascist C clan
C Viva la Quinte Brig F ada
'No Pasaran', G the pledge that made them C fight
'Adelante' is the C/B cry around Am the hillside
F Let us all rem G ember them ton C ight
C Bob Hilliard was a G Church of Ireland C pastor
Form Killarney across the Pyrenees he F came
From Derry came a brave young Christian G Brother
Side by G side they G7 fought and died in C Spain
C Tommy Woods age G seventeen died in C Cordoba
With Na Fianna he learned to hold his F gun
From Dublin to the Villa del G Rio
Where he G fought and G7 died beneath the blazing C sun
C Viva la Quinte Brig F ada
'No Pasaran', G the pledge that made them C fight
'Adelante' is the C/B cry around Am the hillside
F Let us all rem G ember them ton C ight
C Many Irishmen G heard the call of C Franco
Joined Hitler and Mussolini F too
Propaganda from the pulpit and news G papers
Helped G O'Duffy G7 to enlist his C crew
C The word came from G Maynooth, 'support the C Nazis'
The men of cloth failed F again
When the Bishops blessed the Blueshirts in Dun G Laoghaire
As they G sailed ben G7 eath the swastika to C Spain
C Viva la Quinte Brig F ada
'No Pasaran', G the pledge that made them C fight
'Adelante' is the C/B cry around Am the hillside
F Let us all rem G ember them ton C ight
C This song is a tri G bute to Frank C Ryan
Kit Conway and Dinny Coady F too
