Minstrel Boy Misc. Traditional
The [G]minstrel [Em]boy to the [Bm]war has [C]gone.
In the [G]ranks of [Em]death you will [Am]find [G]him.
His [G]father's [Em]sword he has [Bm]girded [C]on
And his [G]wild harp [Em]slung [Am]behind [G]him.
Oh Land of God said the warrior Bard,
Though all the world betray thee,
One fearless sword thy rights shall guard,
On faithfull harp shall praise thee.
The minstrell fell but the foeman's chain
could not pull his proud soul under.
The harp he loved ner' spoke again
for he tore its' chord asunder.
And said no chain shall sully thee
Thy soul of love and bravery
Thy songs were meant for the pure and free
They shall never sound in slavery.
