[Verse 1]
G When boyhood's fire was in my blood C D7 G I read of ancient freemen Em G C For Greece and Rome who bravely stood Am D7 Three hundred men and three men D And then I prayed I might yet see C A7 B7 Our fetters rent in twain C Cm D And Ireland long a province be G D G A nation once again
[Chorus]
C A nation once again Am D7 A nation once again G Em C D And Ireland long a province be G D G A nation once again
[Verse 2]
G And from that time through wildest woe C D7 G That hope has shone a far light Em G C Nor could love's brightest summer glow Am D7 Outshine that solemn starlight D It seemed to watch above my head C A7 B7 In forum, field and fane C Cm D Its angel voice sang round my bed G D G A nation once again
[Chorus]
C A nation once again Am D7 A nation once again G Em C D And Ireland long a province be G D G A nation once again
[Verse 3]
G It whisperd too that freedom's ark C D7 G And service high and holy Em G C Would be profaned by feelings dark Am D7 And passions vain or lowly D For, freedom comes from God's right hand C A7 B7 And needs a godly train C Cm D And righteous men must make our land G D G A nation once agian
[Chorus]
C A nation once again Am D7 A nation once again G Em C D And Ireland long a province be G D G A nation once again
[Verse 4]
G So, as I grew from boy to man C D7 G I bent me to that bidding Em G C My spirit of each selfish plan Am D7 And cruel passion ridding D For, thus I hoped some day to aid C A7 B7 Oh, can such hope be vain C Cm D When my dear country shall be made G D G A nation once again.
[Chorus]
C A nation once again Am D7 A nation once again G Em C D And Ireland long a province be G D G A nation once again
