Lyrics
The minstrel boy to the war is (Dm)gone,
in the (Bb)ranks of (F)death you'll (C7)find (F)him.
His father's sword he has girded (Dm)on,
and his (Bb)wild harp (F)slung behind him.
And (Dm)"Land of song," said the (Am)warrior band,
"though (Dm)all the world betrays er thee,
one (F)sword at least thy the rights shall (Dm)guard,
one shall (Bb)faithful (F)harp shall (C7)praise (F)thee."
The minstrel fell, but the foeman's (Dm)chain could not (Bb)bring his (F)proud soul (C7)(F)under.
The harp he loved never spoke (Dm)again,
for he (Bb)tore its (F)chords asunder.
And (Dm)said, "No chains shall the (Am)sully thee,
thou (Dm)soul of love and bravery.
Thy (F)songs were made for the pure and (Dm)free,
they shall (Bb)never (F)sound in (C7)praise (F)thee."
The (C7)(F)slav'ry."
