Liam Clancy - The Minstrel Boy


[VERSE 1:]
  C majorC    FF     C majorC   A minorAm
The minstrel boy to the war is gone
    FF    C majorC       G+G  C majorC
In the ranks of death you will find him
  C majorC    FF      C majorC   A minorAm
His father's sword he has girded on
    FF     C majorC    G+G  C majorC
And his wild harp slung behind him


[VERSE 2:]

"Land of song," said the warrior bard
    A minorAm       FF  C majorC
"Though all the world betray thee
  A minorAm    FF     C majorC      A minorAm
One sword, at least, thy right shall guard
  FF    C majorC      G+G   C majorC
One faithful heart shall praise thee"

  C majorC    FF       C majorC    A minorAm
The minstrel fell, but the foeman's chain
     FF     C majorC     G+G C majorC
Could not bring that proud soul under
  C majorC    FF      C majorC   A minorAm
The harp he loved ne'er spoke again
    FF    C majorC   G+G C majorC
For he tore its cords asunder


[VERSE 4:]
  A minorAm    FF      G+G   C majorC
And said, "No chain shall sully thee
   A minorAm        FF  C majorC
Thou soul of love and bravery
  A minorAm     FF      C majorC    A minorAm
My songs were made for the pure and free
      FF   C majorC    G+G C majorC
They shall never sound in slavery"
