verse 1: 
    C        F          C      Am 
The minstrel boy to the war is gone 
       F        C              G    C 
In the ranks of death you will find him 
    C        F            C      Am 
His father's sword he has girded on 
        F         C       G    C 
And his wild harp slung behind him 


verse 2: 
 Am      F               G       C 
"Land of song," said the warrior bard 
        Am              F    C 
"Though all the world betray thee 
    Am        F          C           Am 
One sword, at least, thy right shall guard 
    F        C           G      C 
One faithful heart shall praise thee" 


INTERLUDE: C  F  C  Am  F  C  G  C 


verse 3: 
    C        F             C        Am 
The minstrel fell, but the foeman's chain 
          F          C          G C 
Could not bring that proud soul under 
    C       F           C      Am 
The harp he loved ne'er spoke again 
       F        C      G  C 
For he tore its cords asunder 


verse 4: 
    Am        F           G     C 
And said, "No chain shall sully thee 
     Am               F    C 
Thou soul of love and bravery 
   Am         F            C        Am 
My songs were made for the pure and free 
           F     C        G  C 
They shall never sound in slavery" 


OUTRO: C Am  F  G  C
