Blood Stained Bandage Lyrics And Chords - Irish Rebel
Irish Rebel song lyrics and guitar chords, and the guitar chords by Marc Fahrbach. music 6/8. Another tribute to those men who gave their lives for their country and paid the ultimate price. The names mentioned in the song are just a handful of the men and women who took part in the Easter rising of 1916. There's several songs written about some of the men named in this ballad including Joseph Plunkett whom the Grace Song is all about. One of the leaders James Connolly got a song written about him anonymously, just like many of our ballads were written. It's the more famous of the James Connolly song lyrics that are here. There were several ballads written about Patrick Pearse but none included his brother Willie until relatively recent when the same two brothers who wrote the ballad Grace decided to write My Last Farewell Song and they were Sean And Frank O'Meara.
