The [C] minstrel [F] boy to the [C] war [G] has [C] gone
In the [F] ranks of [C] death you will [G] find [C] him.
His [C] father's [F] sword he has [C] gird-[G]-ed [C] on
And his [F] wild harp [C]slung be[G] hind [C]him.
[Am]"Land [G] of [F]song," said the [G] warrior [C] bard,
"Though [F] all the [Am] world [F] be-[G]-tray [C] thee,
One [C] sword at [F] least thy [C] rights [G] shall [C] guard,
One [F] faithful [Am] heart shall [G] praise [C] thee."

The [C] minstrel [F] fell, but the [C] foe-[G]-man's [C] chain
Could not [F] bring that [C] proud soul [G] un-[C]-der.
The [C] harp he [F] loved never [C] played [G] ag-[C]-ain,
For he [F] tore its [C] cords a-[G]-sun-[C]-der,
[Am] And said, [G]"No [F] chain shall [G] sully [C] thee
Thou [F] soul of [Am] love [F] and [G] brav-[C]-ery.
Thy [C] songs were [F] made for the [C] pure [G] and [C]
free.
They shall [F] never [Am] sound in [G] slave-[C]-ry
