Verse

D Bm - Bsus2

My name is John Riley,

G D - Dsus2

I'll have your ear only a while.

G D - F#m

I left my dear home in Ireland

Bm F#m Bm - A G

It was death, starvation or exile.

G D - Dsus2

And when I got to America,

G Bm

It was my duty to go,

D G

Enter the army and slog across Texas

A Bm - Bsus2 Bm A

To join in the war against Mexico.

D Bm - Bsus2

And it was there in the pueblos and hillsides,

G D - Dsus2

That I saw the mistake I had made.

G D F#m

Part of a conquering army

Bm F#m Bm - A G

With the morals of a bayonet blade.

G D - Dsus2

So in the midst of these poor, dying Catholics,

G Bm

Screaming children, the burning stench of it all,

D G

Myself and two hundred Irishmen

A Bm

Decided to rise to the call...

[Refrão]

G D - Dsus2

From Dublin City, to San Diego

A Bm

We witnessed freedom denied

G D

So we formed the Saint Patrick Battalion

A Bm - Bsus2

And we fought on the Mexican side

Verse

D Bm - Bsus2

We marched 'neath the green flag of Saint Patrick

G D - Dsus2

Emblazoned with "Erin Go Bragh"

G D - F#m

Bright with the harp and the shamrock

Bm F#m Bm - A G

And "Libertad para Mexicana"

G D - Dsus2

Just fifty years after Wolftone

G Bm

Five thousand miles away

D G

The Yanks called us a Legion of Strangers

A Bm

And they can talk as they may

But--

[Refrão]

G D - Dsus2

From Dublin City, to San Diego

So we formed the Saint Patrick Battalion

We fought them in Matamoros

G D - Dsus2

While their volunteers were raping the nuns

G D - F#m

In Monterey and Cerro Gordo

Bm F#m Bm - A G

We fought on as Ireland's sons

G D - Dsus2

We were the red-headed fighters for freedom

G Bm

Amidst these brown-skinned women and men

D G

Side by side we fought against tyranny

A Bm

And I dare say we'd do it again

[Refrão]

Verse

We fought them in five major battles

G D Dsus2

Churobusco was the last

G D - F#m

Overwhelmed by the cannons from Boston

Bm F#m Bm - A G

We fell after each mortar blast

G D - Dsus2

Most of us died on that hillside

G Bm

In the service of the Mexican state

D G

So far from our occupied homeland

A Bm

We were heroes and victims of fate
