Chords with lyrics
this is a really easy way of playing this, it's not correct i know, but sounds fine.
F F F F
The minstrel boy to the war is gone,
F Am G F
In the ranks of death ye will find him;
F F F F
His father's sword he hath girded on,
F Am G F
And his wild harp slung behind him;
Am F G F
"Land of Song!" said the warrior bard,
F Am F G
"Tho' all the world betray thee,
F F F F
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard,
F Am G F
One faithful harp shall praise thee!"
The Minstrel fell! But the foeman's chain
Could not bring his proud soul under;
The harp he lov'd ne'er spoke again,
For he tore its chords asunder;
And said "No chains shall sully thee,
Thou soul of love and bravery!
Thy songs were made for the pure and free
They shall never sound in slavery!"
