1. The minstrel boy to the war has gone,
           G        Em           D    G
    in the ranks of death you'll find him.
        G        C           G        C
    His father's sword he has girded on,
            G         Em     D     G
    and his wild harp slung behind him.
 
    Em      C              D           - G
    Land of Song! said the warrior bard,
    Em            Bm       C      D
    though all the world betrays thee,
        G         C          G            C
    one sword, at least, thy rights shall guard,
        G        Em         D      G
    one faithful harp shall praise thee !

2. The minstrel fell, but the foeman's chains
              G          Em         D  G
    could not bring this proud soul under.
        G       C           G     C
    The harp he loved never spoke again,
           G        Em      D   G
    for he tore its chords asunder.
 
        Em       C            D     G
    And said, no chains shall sully thee,
         Em      Bm       C    D
    thou soul of love and bravery !
        G          C            G        C
    Thy songs were made for the pure and free,
               G     Em       D   G
    they shall never sound in slavery !
