When boy (C)hood’s (Dm)fire (Bb)was (F)in my blood, I read of (C)an (F)cient free (C)men; for (F)Greece (C)and (Dm)Rome (Bb)who (F)brave ly stood, three hun (Bb)dred (F)men (C)and (F)three men.

And there I prayed (C7)I (F)yet might see our (C7)fet (F)ters (Bb)rent (F)in (Bb)twain,

(C7)and (F)Ire (C)land, (Dm)long (Bb)a (F)prov ince, be a na (Bb)tion (F)once (C)a (F)gain.

A na tion (Bb)once a (F)gain,

a na tion (Bb)once a (F)gain.

(C)May (F)Ire (C)land, (Dm)long (Bb)a (F)prov ince, be a na (Bb)tion (F)once (C)a (F)gain.

And from (C)that (Dm)time, (Bb)through (F)wild est woe, that hope has (C)shown (F)a far (C)light; nor (F)could (C)love’s (Dm)bright (Bb)est (F)sum mer glow out shine (Bb)that (F)sol (C)emn (F)star light.

(C)May (F)Ire (C)land, (Dm)long (Bb)a (F)prov ince, be a na (Bb)tion (F)once (C)a (F)gain.
