THE MINSTREL BOY - by Thomas Moore

    G        Em          Bm     C
3   4  -4   -5  5 -4 4   5   6  7
The minstrel bo-y to the war is gone,
        G       Em             Am   G
-7 7   -6    6  5  -5  6  5    -4   4
In the ranks of de-ath yo-u'll find him;
    G         Em            Bm     C
3   4   -4   -5  5  -4 4    5   6  7
His father's swo-rd he hath girded on,
         G        Em          Am   G       
-7  7   -6   6    5  -5  6  5 -4   4
And his wild harp slu-ng be - hind him;

 Em    D  C      D             C   G
 7    -7 -6     -7    7   -7  -6   6
"Land of Song!" cried the war-rior bard,
       Em               C   D G
 -6b  -6  5   5    -6b -6  -7 7  
"Tho' all the world be-tra-ys thee,
    G          Em          Bm           C
7   4      -4 -5 5    -4 4 5      6     7
One sword, at le-ast, th-y rights shall guard,
      G       Rm           Am     G
-7 7 -6   6   5  -5 6   5  -4     4 
O-ne faithful ha-rp sha-ll praise thee!"


The Minstrel fell! But the foeman's steel
Could not bring that 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 brav'ry!
Thy songs were made for the pure and free
They shall never sound in slavery!
