this is a really easy way of playing this, it's not correct i know, but sounds fine.


     F          F            F        F
The minstrel boy to the war is gone,

        F          Am               G      F
In the ranks of death ye will find him;

     F          F               F        F
His father's sword he hath girded on,

         F           Am       G        F
And his wild harp slung behind him;

 Am          F                 G           F
"Land of Song!" said the warrior bard,
       F         Am          F     G
"Tho' all the world betray thee,

     F           F            F              F
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard,

     F          Am            G        F
One faithful harp shall praise thee!"


The Minstrel fell! But the foeman's chain
Could not bring his 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 bravery!
Thy songs were made for the pure and free
They shall never sound in slavery!"
