Comrades Fill No Glass For Me

    G                 C
Oh! Comrades, fill no glass for me
   G                A      D
To drown my soul in liquid flame
    G               C
For if I drank, the toast would be
   G                 D          G
To blighted forture, health and fame.
              C       G
Yet, though I long to quell the strife
     A                        D7
That passion holds against my life,
       G                   C
Still, boon companions may ye be,
    G                 D         G
But comrades, fill no glass for me.
       G                   C
Still, boon companions may ye be,
    G                 D         G
But comrades, fill no glass for me.

[Verse 2]
  G                  C
I know a breast that once was light
      G                  A       D
Whose patient sufferings need my care
  G                  C
I know a hearth that once was bright,
    G                   D       G
But drooping hopes have nestled there.
               C          G
Then while the tear drops nightly steal
     A                            D7
From wounded hearts that I should heal
       G                   C
Still, boon companions may ye be,
    G                 D         G
But comrades, fill no glass for me.
       G                   C
Still, boon companions may ye be,
    G                 D         G
But comrades, fill no glass for me.

[Verse 3]
     G             C
When I was young I felt the tide
   G           A   D
Of aspirations undefiled,
    G                    C
But manhood's years have wronged the pride
   G                D        G
My parents centered in their child.
           C               G
Then, by a mother's sacred tear,
   A               D7
By all that memory should revere,
       G                   C
Still, boon companions may ye be,
    G                 D         G
But comrades, fill no glass for me.
       G                   C
Still, boon companions may ye be,
    G                 D         G
But comrades, fill no glass for me.
