Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Am G              F         G              Am
As I walked over the Glenshane Pass I heard a young girl mourn
                    C                G                   Am
The boy from Tamlaghduff she cried is two years dead and gone
                C           G                E
How my heart is torn apart this young man to lose
         Am     G       F      G               F       Am
Oh We’ll never see the likes again of my young Francis Hughes

   Am G              F          G            Am
For many years his exploits were a thorn in England’s side
                    C                      G                Am
The hills and glens became his home it was there he used to hide
               C                 G               E
Once when they surrounded him he quietly slipped away
Am     G       F      G                   F     Am
Like a fox he went to ground and kept the dogs at bay

Am      G        F      G             Am
Moving round the countryside he often made the news
                     C                  G                Am
But they could never lay there hands on my brave francis hughes
                C                     G      E
Finally they wounded him then captured him at last
    Am     G       F      G        F           Am
From the countryside he loved they took him to belfast

        Am      G        F      G            Am
From Musgrave Park to Crumlin Road then to a H-Block cell
                        C               G               Am
He went straight on the blanket then on hunger strike as well
                C                     G               E
His will to win they could never break no matter what they tried
   Am          G     F      G            F           Am
He fought them every day he lived and he fought them as he died


   Am G              F         G              Am
As I walked over the Glenshane Pass I heard a young girl mourn
                    C                G                   Am
The boy from Tamlaghduff she cried is two years dead and gone
                C           G                E
How my heart is torn apart this young man to lose
         Am     G       F      G               F       Am
Oh We’ll never see the likes again of my young Francis Hughes
