Bring Them Home Lyrics And Chords

Paddy McGuigan And The Barleycorn.Here's another from one of Ireland's greatest rebel songwriter. Also recorded by The Dublin City Ramblers and that's who the youtube video is of.​An Irish rebel song and a call to free Irish republican prisoners for the jails in Ireland in the 1970's. Recorded by Barleycorn and Charlie And The Bhoys.


[Chorus]
Here[D] it ring on the[G] air,It's the[A] voice of my country so[D] fair
Cant you feel ,cant you[G] see ,Irish[A]men will set them [D]free
 
In[D] the jail that held Mc[A] Sweeney
In the prison where he[D] died
Lies the daughters of old[A] Ireland
[G]And they[A] fill my heart with[D] pride
For I[A] know that England[D] wishes
[G]That we'd let them die a[A]lone
But[D] all the voices of dear old[G] Ireland
Cries for[A] us to bring them[D] home
 
T'was the love of dear old Ireland
Brought them to a prison hell
But the ghosts of Pearse and Connolly
Filled their lonely prison cell
Clarke and Plunkett stand beside them
Mc Donagh Mc Dermot and Wolfe Tone
And all the voices of old Ireland
Cry for us to bring them home
 
So I pray you men of Ireland
Dont betray our daughters true
Proudly stand beside our heroes
Lest they die for me and you
Though the tyrant would deny us
We can break their hearts of stone
And all of Ireland will be singing
When we bring our daughters home
