And here's how the chords fit the words:-

A NATION ONCE AGAIN

by Thomas Davis (1814-1845)

      G  
When boyhood's fire was in my blood
   C      D7        G   
I read of ancient freemen,
                Em        G       C   
For Greece and Rome who bravely stood,
       Am      D7  
Three hundred men and three men;
      D 
And then I prayed I yet might see
     C       A7       B7  
Our fetters rent in twain,
     C       Cm      D  
And Ireland long a province, be
   G      D     G  
A Nation once again!

       G            C  
    A nation once again,
       Am           D7  
    A nation once again,
         G        Em      C        D   
    And Ireland, long a province, be
     G      D     G  
    A Nation once again!
