3500. Number One Platoon (Traditional Irish Loyalist)

Another Irish Loyalist song, requested by Dan.
Lyrics and chords:
E …………………..,……….............. A
I'll remember I'll try; it was nearly July
…...….… E ………....………………………....................………. B7
As we walked down the road. I'll remember the year.
……...…......…. E ……….….....… B7 ……..…......… E …….......….. A
There was me, there was Sam, Jimmy Sloan and McCann
….....……… E ....….…… B7 …. E
Would enlist in the Volunteers.
…......…….. A ………........…………...….. E
And the man says to me, “Boy, I hope you will see,
………………….....................……....…… B7
And remember this day all the things you've been taught.”
………...... E …….......… B7 …….….....… E ……......….. A
It could be now or then, but we'll fight once again
…….......… E …….........…..… B7 …….....….. E
For the things that our grandfathers fought.
And I swore like the rest to the badge on my breast,
To the gun in my hand I will fight for my land.
With my hand held high I took that vow
And I joined Number One Platoon.
E ………...........………. B7 …...…. E ……........…….. A
And deep down inside my heart fills with pride.
I remember the men who have fought through the years.
I could name quite a few but to me and to you
They were Ulster Volunteers.

Hey Raymond I was wondering if that Ulster national anthem is still in your list since KZbin deleted my comment last time for no reason. Thanks.

[@raymondcrooke]

Yes. I will be doing it in about a week.
