Songwriter unknown Declan Hunt's recording is the only version I've come across. From the triple album, Songs of Ireland's 1916 Rising (tape(disc) 2 song 10) I'd expect Declan may have also released this, but Ive not come across any of his albums. Standard Tuning time signature 4/4 tempo: (havent checked) the metronome and me dont get on that well... may fill in later Chords and picking pattern (my own, not an attempt to cover Declan) Chord tab / name / string numbers to pick 320033 / G / 64312353 xx0232 / D / 43212343 xx0212 / D7 / 43212343 If you are unfamiliar with the name Cathal Brugha (phonetic Cahal Brua) some pronounce the A in Cathal as in cAt some as in fAll... i go with the latter Poetic licence is used with Brugha in the song, shortened to Brugh (phonetic Bru) whole song is G G G D D
