Intro  G G G G (2x) 

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 
                                 D      D/F#   G 
Through everything I'm proud to call you brother 

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

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.
