Verse 2
I took (B minor) back my hand (A major) and I

(G major) for fueling (D major) the en (B minor) gine of
a bloody (G major) cruel (D major) war,
In my (E minor) forefather's home (B minor) far away,

Verse 3
Who fled (B minor) the first (A major) fammine wearing
all (G major) that they (D major) own.
Were called navig (B minor) ators
all (A major) ragged and (E minor) torn,
(G major) and built (D major) the grand trunk (B minor) here
and (G major) found a new (D major) home,
where (B minor) ever their (A major) children were (D major) born.
Verse 4
(D major)
Their sons (B minor) have no politics (A major) (G major) none
can re (D major) call
alliegence from long (B minor) gener
(A major) ation (B major) s be (E minor) fore.
(G major) "O" (D major) this or "O" that (B minor)
name can't (G major) matter at (D major) all,
or (E minor) be cause enough (B minor) for to (A major) war.
Verse 5
And (B minor) meanwhile my (A major) babies are
safe (G major) in their (D major) home.
Unlike their pale (B minor) cousins who
cower (A major) and cry, (E minor) (G major)
while (D major) (B minor) kneecappers nail their
poor dads (G major) to the (D major) floor,
and (B minor) teach them to (A major) hate
and to die.
(D major) (Dsus4) (D major)
Verse 6
It's those (B minor) cruel (A major) beggers who
spurn (G major) the fare (D major) point,
The peace for their kids (B minor) they
could take (A major) at (B minor) their will. (E minor) (G major)
Since the day (D major) old King (B minor) Billy pre
(G major) vailed at the Boyne, (D major)
They've (E minor) bombed and they've
(B minor) maimed and they've killed.
(A major)
Verse 7
Now they cry (B minor) out for (A major) money
and (G major) they wail at the (D major) door,
but home rule or re (B minor) public 'tis
(A major) all of it (B minor) shame (E minor) (G major)
And a curse (D major) for us (B minor) here who
want nothing (G major) of (D major) war.
We're kindred (B minor) in (A major) nothing but (D major) name.

Verse 8
All (B minor) rights and all (A major) wrongs have long
since (G major) blown away, (D major)
For causes are (B minor) ashes where
children (A major) lye (B minor) slain, (E minor) (G major)
Yet the damned (D major) (B major) (B minor) UDL and the cruel (G major) IRA (D major)
will to (E minor) morrow go (B minor) murdering again.
(A major)
Verse 9
But no (B minor) penny of mine (A major) will I
(G major) add to the (D major) fray.
Remember the Boyne (B minor) they
will cry (A major) out (B minor) in (E minor) vein, (G major)
For I've given (D major) my (B minor) heart to
the (G major) place I was (D major) born
and for (E minor) given the (B minor) whole
house of (A major) Orange.
King (B minor) Billy and the (A major) whole house
of (D major) Orange.
