[Verse 1]
       Gsus4        G  Gsus4  G
Take a look at you, old man
       Gsus4       G  Gsus4  G
As you sit in your chair
                  Cadd9
You can be almost anyone
                    G  Gsus4  G
For all I know or I care
            Gsus4      G  Gsus4  G
But on your chest is a red star
          Gsus4          G  Gsus4  G
From your days long gone by
                     D  Dsus2  D
For a proud fighting past
      Dsus4          G  Gsus4  G
For a cause you held high


[Verse 2]
        Gsus4        G  Gsus4  G
Son, we set out from Glasgow
       Gsus4        G  Gsus4  G
To the war torn in Spain
                 Cadd9
Brave socialists fighters
                   G  Gsus4  G
From a Scottish Brigade
    Gsus4       G  Gsus4  G
Not knowing our fate
   Gsus4        G  Gsus4  G
Or what would befall
                    D  Dsus2  D
But for justice and freedom
        Dsus4         G  Gsus4  G
We were proud to give all


[Chorus]
                        Cadd9
And my hands fought the fascists
              G  Gsus4  G
At Jarama in Spain
                       D  Dsus2  D
And my heart beats for justice
      Dsus4    G  Gsus4  G
Until my dying day
                    Cadd9
I never set out for glory
D                   Em
 But I'd my part to play
                     D  Dsus2  D
In the fight against Franco
     Dsus4    G  Gsus4  G
At Jarama in Spain


[Verse 3]
    Gsus4         G  Gsus4  G
For five weeks we waited
      Gsus4    G  Gsus4  G
To be handed a gun
                       Cadd9
They drove us into the fighting
                      G  Gsus4  G
Under Spain's blazing sun
        Gsus4         G  Gsus4  G
And the fires of hell don't compare
       Gsus4       G  Gsus4  G
To the battle that day
                 D  Dsus2  D
In the heat of Jarama
      Dsus4          G  Gsus4  G
Seven thousand were slain


[Verse 4]
        Gsus4      G  Gsus4  G
Then we ran out of bullets
      Gsus4       G  Gsus4  G
Taken by Franco's Men
                  Cadd9
To Talavera de la Reina
                   G  Gsus4  G
And then moved on again
        Gsus4      G  Gsus4  G
And the Calton had never
       Gsus4   G  Gsus4  G
Seemed so far away
               D  Dsus2  D
As I lay in my prison
       Dsus4     G  Gsus4  G
At Salamanca in Spain


[Chorus]
                        Cadd9
And my hands fought the fascists
              G  Gsus4  G
At Jarama in Spain
                       D  Dsus2  D
And my heart beats for justice
      Dsus4    G  Gsus4  G
Until my dying day
                    Cadd9
I never set out for glory
D                   Em
 But I'd my part to play
                     D  Dsus2  D
In the fight against Franco
     Dsus4    G  Gsus4  G  Gsus4
At Jarama in Spain

[Verse 5]
       Gsus4      G  Gsus4  G
Take a look at me now, son
         Gsus4     G  Gsus4  G
And the star on my chest
                      Cadd9
Some would have given everything
                     G  Gsus4  G
For the cause of the left
         Gsus4              G  Gsus4  G
Then the deeds that they've done
        Gsus4           G  Gsus4  G
And the parts that they played
                     D  Dsus2  D
In the fight against Franco
     Dsus4    G  Gsus4  G
At Jarama in Spain


[Chorus]
                        Cadd9
And my hands fought the fascists
              G  Gsus4  G
At Jarama in Spain
                       D  Dsus2  D
And my heart beats for justice
      Dsus4    G  Gsus4  G
Until my dying day
                    Cadd9
I never set out for glory
D                   Em
 But I'd my part to play
                     D  Dsus2  D
In the fight against Franco
     Dsus4    G  Gsus4  G
At Jarama in Spain


[Outro]
                     D  Dsus2  D
In the fight against Franco
     Dsus4    G  Gsus4  G
At Jarama in Spain
