Viva La Quinta Brigada Lyrics And Chords Christy Moore. Those who fought in Spain sarcrificed everything, many gave their lives to fight fascism, whenever I run up against to my work from polictal or associated quarters, I think of the sacrifices these soldiers made [Christy Moore] Christy uses a capo on the 1st fret.

[C]Ten years be[G]fore I saw the [C]light of morning
A comradeship of [F]heroes was laid
From every corner of the [G]world came sailing
The Fifteenth [F]International [C]Brigade
 
They came to stand beside the Spanish people
To try and stem the rising fascist tide
Franco's allies were the powerful and wealthy
Frank Ryan's men came from the other side
 
Even the olives were bleeding
As the battle for Madrid it thundered on
Truth and love against the force of evil
Brotherhood against the fascist clan
 
[C]Viva la Quin[F]te Brigada
'No Pasaran', [G]the pledge that [C]made them fight
'Adelante' is the cry around [Am]the hillside
[F]Let us [G]all remember [C]them tonight

Bob Hilliard was a Church of Ireland pastor
Form Killarney across the Pyrenees he came
From Derry came a brave young Christian Brother
Side by side they fought and died in Spain
 
Tommy Woods age seventeen died in Cordoba
With Na Fianna he learned to hold his gun
From Dublin to the Villa del Rio
Where he fought and died beneath the blazing sun
 
Viva la Quinte Brigada
'No Pasaran', the pledge that made them fight
'Adelante' is the cry around the hillside
Let us all remember them tonight
 
Many Irishmen heard the call of Franco
Joined Hitler and Mussolini too
Propaganda from the pulpit and newspapers
Helped O'Duffy to enlist his crew
 
The word came from Maynooth, 'support the Nazis'
The men of cloth failed again
When the Bishops blessed the Blueshirts in Dun Laoghaire
As they sailed beneath the swastika to Spain
 
Viva la Quinte Brigada
'No Pasaran', the pledge that made them fight
'Adelante' is the cry around the hillside
Let us all remember them tonight
 
This song is a tribute to Frank Ryan
Kit Conway and Dinny Coady too
Peter Daly, Charlie Regan and Hugh Bonar
Though many died I can but name a few
 
Danny Boyle, Blaser-Brown and Charlie Donnelly
Liam Tumilson and Jim Straney from the Falls
Jack Nalty, Tommy Patton and Frank Conroy
Jim Foley, Tony Fox and Dick O'Neill
 

Christy Moore song lyrics and guitar chords

Viva La Quinte At The Barrowlands - Notes From The Box Set.
Barrowlands in Glasgow 1991, this dreadful recording
is included bcause I love it, some sham taped it
down the hall with a getto blaster under his arm
and a microphone up his ar--. But I'm very glad
he took the trouble. I was charmed to hear the
glorious Glasgow hordes sing out the way they did.
When I break a string or change guitars they carry
on regardless. Those whistlers and clappers, bless
them all
