C There's a uniform still hanging inF C what's known as father's room,G A uniform so simple in it's style,C It's got no braid of gold nor silkF C no hat with feathered plume,F G Yet me mother has preserved it allC the while.F C One day she made me try it on,a wish of mines for years,Am in memory of your father dear she said,C And as I placed the Sam Browne onF C she was smiling through her tears,F As she placed the Broad BlackG C Brimmer on me head [Chorus]G C F It's just a Broad BlackC Brimmer,it's ribbon's frayed and torn ,C By the careless whisp of many's a mountain breeze,F An old trench coat thats all battleC stained and worn,Continúa después del anuncioF G And breeches almost threadbare atC the knees.F C A Sam Browne belt with a buckle big and strong,C And a holster thats been emptyAm manys a day(But not for long)C But when men claim Ireland'sF freedom, the one you'll choose toC lead 'em Will wear the Broad Black Brimmer ofG C the I.R.A. [Verse]C It was the uniform being worn byF C me father long ago, When he reached me mother'sG homestead on the run,C It was the uniform being worn inF C that little churh below,F When ol' Father Mac he blessed theG C pair as one.F And after truce and treaty and theC parting of the waves,Am He wore it when he marched out with the rest.C F And as they bore his body downC that rugged braes,F G They placed the Broad BlackC Brimmer on his breast. [Chorus]G C F It's just a Broad BlackC Brimmer,it's ribbon's frayed and torn ,C By the careless whisp of many's a mountain breeze,F An old trench coat thats all battleC stained and worn,F G And breeches almost threadbare atC the knees.F C A Sam Browne belt with a buckle big and strong,C And a holster thats been emptyAm manys a day(But not for long)C But when men claim Ireland'sF freedom, the one you'll choose toC lead 'em Will wear the Broad Black Brimmer ofG C the I.R.A.
