Verse 1
SOL
When boyhood's fire was in my blood
DO SOL
I read of ancient freeman
SOL
For Greece and Rome who bravely stood
DO LAm RE
Three hundred men and three men
RE
And then I prayed I yet might see
DO SOL
Our fetters rent in twain
DO LAm RE
And Ireland long a province be
SOL
A nation once again
Chorus
SOL DO
A nation once again
LAm RE
A nation once again
SOL DO
And Ireland long a province be
LAm RE SOL
A nation once again
Verse 2
It whispered too that freeedom's ark
That service high and holy
Would be profaned by feelings dark
And passions vain or lowly
For freedom comes from God's right hand
And needs a Godly train
And righteous men must make our land
A nation once again
Chorus
Verse 3
So as I grew from boy to man
I bent me to that bidding
My spirit of each selfish plan
And cruel passion ridding
For thus I hoped some day to aid
Oh can such hope be vain
When my dear country should be made
A nation once again
Chorus
