Broad Black Brimmer The Wolfe Tones
Lyrics and guitar chords
C
There's a uniform still hanging in what's F
known as father's C
room,A uniform so simple in it'
G
s style,C
It's got no braid of gold nor silk no F
hat with feathered C
plume,Yet me mother has p
F
reserved it G
all the C
while.One
F
day she made me try it on ,a C
wish of mines for years,in
Am
memory of your father dear she said,C
And as I placed the Sam Browne on she was F
smiling through her C
tears,As she
F
placed the Broad Black G
Brimmer on me C
headG
It's just a C
Broad Black BrimmeF
r, its ribbon's frayed and tC
orn ,C
By the careless whisp of many's a mountain breeze,An old trench coat that's all
F
battle stained and C
worn,And breeches almost
F
threadbare G
at the kC
nees.A
F
Sam Browne belt with a C
buckle big and strong,C
And a holster that's been empty manys a Am
day(But not for long)But when
C
men claim Ireland's freedom, F
the one you'll choose to C
lead 'emWill wear the Broad Black Brimmer of the
G
I.R.C
A.C
It was the uniform being worn by me F
father long C
ago,When he reached me mother's
G
homestead on the run,C
It was the uniform being worn in that F
little church C
below,When ol' Father
F
Mac he blessed the G
pair as C
one.And
F
after truce and treaty and the C
parting of the waves,He
Am
wore it when he marched out with the rest.C
And as they bore his F
body down that rugged C
braes,They pl
F
aced the Broad Black BrG
immer on his bC
reast.G
It's just a C
Broad Black BrimmeF
r, its ribbon's frayed and tC
orn ,C
By the careless whisp of many's a mountain breeze,An old trench coat that's all
F
battle stained and C
worn,And breeches almost
F
threadbare G
at the kC
nees.A
F
Sam Browne belt with a C
buckle big and strong,C
And a holster that's been empty manys a Am
day(But not for long)But when
C
men claim Ireland's freedom, F
the one you'll choose to C
lead 'emWill wear the Broad Black Brimmer of the
