O father, [C] why are you so [G] sad on this bright Easter [D] morn?
[G] When [C] Irishmen are proud and [G] glad of the land [D] that they [G] were born.
[D] O son, I see in memory [G]
too of [C] far [G] off distant [D] days
[G] When being just [C] a lad like you [G] I joined the IRA.
Where [D] are the lads who stood with me [G] when history [D] was made?
O Grummagree, [G] I long to see the lives of the old brigade.
From hills and farms the call [C] to arms [G] was heard by one [D] and all.
[G] And from the glen [C] came brave young men [G] to [D] answer [G] Ireland's call.
[D] Was long ago [Am] we [G] faced a foe, the old brigade and [D] me.
[G] And by my side [C] they fought and died [G] that Ireland might be free.
[D] Where are [G] the lads who stood with me when [C] history [G] was [D] made?
O Grummagree, I long to [Am] see [G] the lives of the old brigade.
And [C]
[G] [D] [G]
now my boy [C] I told you why [G] on Easter morn [D] I sigh.
[G] For I recall [C] my comrades all [G] of dark old days gone by.
[D] I think of [Am] men who [G] fought in glens with rifle [C] [G] and [D] grenade.
[G] May heaven keep [C] the men who sleep [G] from the ranks of the old brigade.
Where are [D] the [G] lads who stood with me when history was [D] made?
O Grummagree, [G] I long to see the lives of the old brigade.
Where are the lads who stood with me when history was [D] made?
O Grummagree, [G] I long to see the lives of the old brigade.
