Tabbed by: Thomas Millar | @thom.inc -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Verse 1]
         G
Said a father to his son

       Cadd9           G  D/F
"Oh my boy the time has come"

     G              Cadd9       D/F
Your country it is calling unto thee

           G          Cadd9
For those rebels once again

     G               D/F
To unite us is their aim

       D/F                              G
And together we must stand to keep her free
[Chorus]
  G Cadd9      G
Remember, our fathers brave and bold

          G                                  D/F
As they fought for Ulsters cause in far off lands

        G           Cadd9        G          D/F
Oh my father said to me "I must join the Y.C.V"

        D/F                     G
With a rifle or a pistol in my hand
[Verse 2]
     G
From Belfast to Armagh

Cadd9             G  D/F
Carade to old Crossgar

         G               Cadd9   D/F
From Ballymena to old Omagh town

           G                Cadd9
With their standards flying high

          G            D/F
As it was in days gone by

       D/F                            G
We will rally round the flag for liberty
[Chorus]
  G Cadd9      G
Remember, our fathers brave and bold

          G                                  D/F
As they fought for Ulsters cause in far off lands

        G           Cadd9        G          D/F
Oh my father said to me "I must join the Y.C.V"

        D/F                     G
With a rifle or a pistol in my hand
[Verse 3]
     G
Come all you Volunteers

       Cadd9           G  D/F
Let us fight and never fear

              G              Cadd9 D/F
Just like our fathers did so long ago

           G                Cadd9
Though i'm sixteen years of age

       G                 D/F
In the Volunteers i'll engage

         D/F                        G
Like our fathers did so many years ago
[Chorus]
  G Cadd9      G
Remember, our fathers brave and bold

          G                                  D/F
As they fought for Ulsters cause in far off lands

        G           Cadd9        G          D/F
Oh my father said to me "I must join the Y.C.V"

        D/F                     G
With a rifle or a pistol in my hand
