Verse 1
(D major) It was (C major) (G major) (D major) a good
Friday morn (A major) (D major) ing
All (G major) in the month of
May (D major)
A
German ship was signalling
Beyond (C major) out (G major) in the bay (A major)
With 20 (C major) ,000 rifles (D major) already (G major) far to land (A major)
But no (D major) answering signals did come
from their (C major) lonely valestrand (G major) (D major)
No signal, answers from the shore
Sir
Ro (G major) ger sadly said (D major)
No comrades here to welcome me
Alas, (C major) they (G major) must be dead (A major)
But (C major) I must do my duty, (D major)
and at (G major) once I mean to land (A major)
So in (D major) a small (A major) boat pulled (D major) ashore,
on the (C major) lonely balus (G major) trade (D major)
Now the
R .I .C. were hunting for
Sir
Ro (G major) ger
High and
Low (D major)
They found him at
Mackanus
Fort
Said, (C major) there you (G major) are a foe (A major)
Said he, (C major) I'm
Roger
Case (D major) ment, I came to (G major) my native land, (A major)
And I (D major) mean to free my countrymen,
On the (C major) lonely
Bannis (G major) trand. (D major)
Now they took
Sir
Roger, prisoner,
And they (G major) sailed for
London town. (D major)
And in the tower they laid him,
A (C major) traitor to (G major) the crown. (A major)
Said (C major) he, am no traitor, (D major)
but his (G major) trial he had to stand (A major)
For bringing (D major)
German rifles to the (C major) lonely
Danes (G major) trand (D major)
It was in an
English prison that they
led (G major) him to his death (D major)
I'm dying for my country,
he said (C major) with (G major) his last breath (A major)
They bur (C major) ied him in
Brit (D major) ish soil, far from (G major) his native land (A major)
And the (D major) wild waves sing his requiem
on the (C major) lonely (G major) bandstand (D major)
Now they took
Sir
Roger home again
In the (G major) year of sixty -five (D major)
And with his comrades of sixteen
In (C major) peace and (G major) tranquil (A major) lise
His last (C major) fond wish, it (D major) is fulfilled
For to (G major) lie in his native land (A major)
And the (D major) waves will roll in peace again
On the (C major) lonely
Bannis (G major) trand (D major)
And the waves will roll in peace again
On the (C major) lonely (G major) banner's (D major) throng. (G major) (D major)
