Farewell to Bellaghy/Mcelwees Farewell

Chorus (G)Farewell to (D) Bellaghy,(C) likewise Tamlaght(G)duff, And the green hills of (D)Derry (C)that I dearly (G)love, My thoughts return (Am) to (D) you from my (C)dark H-Block (Em)cell, So friends and brave (G) comrades,(D) I(C) bid you fare(G)well. For hundreds of years now we've kept up the fight and the history books told me of Ireland's plight so with gallant Francis I followed the call To conquer the tyrants, and defy England's laws. Chorus Through the hills of south Derry we marched and we drilled, To our exploits in action all Irish youth thrilled, The most feared men in Ulster, volunteers on the run, We give England our answer from the barrels of our guns. Chorus Oh gallant south Derry you are forever blessed, In the struggle for freedom you have given your best, There's Hughes and there's Bateson, Sheridan and Leigh, And inscribed with their names now brave Tom McElwee Chorus Probably one of my favourite songs at the minute

Viva la Quinta Brigada

Ten (C) years before I (G) saw the light of (C) morning A (C) comradeship of heroes (F) was laid. From (C) every corner of the world came (F) sailing The (G) Fifth (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 (F) Quinta Brigada! "No (F) Paseran" the (G) pledge that made them (C) fight. (C) "Adelante" was(C/B) the cry around the (Am) hillside. Let (F)us all (G) remember them (C) tonight. Bob Hillard was a Church of Ireland pastor; From 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, aged seventeen, died in Cordoba. With Na Fianna he l
