The Minstrel Boy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
The [G]min[C]strel boy [G]to the war has gone
In the [C]raids of [G]death, you will find [D]him
[G]His father's swo[C]rd he [G]has gir[D]ded on[G]
And his wild [C]harp slun[G]g behind h[D]im
[G]Land of songs that the war[D]rior barred,
Though [G]all [C]the world [G]betray thee,
One sword at least thy right [D]shall [G]guard,
One [C]faithful [G]harp shall [D]praise the[G]e.
The min[C]strel fell,
[G]but the foreman's chains
could not [C]dread
that proud [D]soul of wonder[G].
The harp [D]he [C]loved [G]ne 'er spoke again,
for [C]it tore its [G]chords asun[D]der,
[G]and said, no [D]cha[G]nge sha[D]ll sully thee,
O [G]soul [C]of love and [G]bravery.[D]
[G]Thy song[C]s were meant
[G]for the pure an[C]d f[G]ree,
[C]They shall never sound in [D]slavery.
