[Verse 1]
F When boyhood's fire was in my blood F G7 F I read of ancient freemen Dm F For Greece and Rome who bravely stood Dm G7 Three hundred men and three men G And then I prayed I might yet see F D7 E7 Our fetters rent in twain F Fm G And Ireland long a province be F G F A nation once again
[Chorus]
F A nation once again Dm G7 A nation once again F Dm F G And Ireland long a province be F G F A nation once again
[Verse 2]
F And from that time through wildest woe F G7 F That hope has shone a far light Dm F Nor could love's brightest summer glow Dm G7 Outshine that solemn starlight G It seemed to watch above my head F D7 E7 In forum, field and fane F Fm G Its angel voice sang round my bed F G F A nation once again
[Chorus]
F A nation once again Dm G7 A nation once again F Dm F G And Ireland long a province be F G F A nation once again
[Verse 3]
F It whisper'd too that freedom's ark F G7 F And service high and holy Dm F Would be profaned by feelings dark Dm G7 And passions vain or lowly G For freedom comes from God's right hand F D7 E7 And needs a godly train F Fm G And righteous men must make our land F G F A nation once again
[Chorus]
F A nation once again Dm G7 A nation once again F Dm F G And Ireland long a province be F G F A nation once again
[Verse 4]
F So, as I grew from boy to man F G7 F I bent me to that bidding Dm F My spirit of each selfish plan Dm G7 And cruel passion ridding G For thus I hoped some day to aid F D7 E7 Oh, can such hope be vain F Fm G When my dear country shall be made F G F A nation once again.
[Chorus]
F A nation once again Dm G7 A nation once again F Dm F G And Ireland long a province be F G F A nation once again
