[Db] [Ab]
[F] [Ab]
Come all you young rebels, [Bb]
enlist [Ab] while we sing,
For the love of one's country [Db] is a terrible [Ab]
thing.
[Fm] It banishes [Ab]
fear with [Db] the speed of [Ab] a flame,
And it makes [Db] us all part [Ab] of the Patriot Gang.
My name [Db] is Ohanan, [Eb] and I'm just gone [Ab] sixteen,
My home is in Manan, where I was weaned,
[Bb] I've learned all [Ab] my life, [Db] cruel [Ab] England's to blame,
And so [Db] I'm a [Ab]
part of [Eb] the [Ab] Patriot Gang.
This island [Db]
of [Fm] ours has [Eb] for long been [Ab] half free,
Six counties are under John Bull's tyranny,
So [Eb] we gave up our [Ab]
boyhood to [Fm] thrill and to [Ab] train,
May [Db] our own [Ab] part in [Bb] the [Ab] Patriot Gang.
[Db] It was barely two [E] years since they [Eb] wandered away,
[Ab]
And it was with the local battalion of the bold IRA,
[Eb] For they'd read of [Ab] our heroes and [Db] wanted the same,
[Ab]
To play their [E] own part [Eb] in the Patriot Gang.
[Ab]
As I lie here, [Eb] my body [Ab] all whole,
I think of those traitors,
[Db] Who [Ab] bargained in souls,
[Bbm] I wish that [Ab] my rifle had [Db] given [Ab] the same,
To those quislings who sold out the [Eb]
[Ab] Patriot Gang.
[F] [Ab]
Come all you young rebels, [Bb]
enlist [Ab] while we sing,
For the love of one's country [Db] is a terrible [Ab]
thing.
[Fm] It banishes [Ab]
fear with [Db] the speed of [Ab] a flame,
And it makes [Db] us all part [Ab] of the Patriot Gang.

My home is in Manan, where I was weaned,
[Bb] I've learned all [Ab] my life, [Db] cruel [Ab] England's to blame,
