Verse 1
(C major) The minstrel boy to the war (E minor) is (A minor) gone,
In the (F major) ranks (C major) of death you'll (G major) find (C major) him;
His father's sword he hath girded (A minor) on,
And his wild (F major) harp slung (C major)
be (D minor) hind (C major) (A minor) him;
Verse 2
"Land of Song!" cried the (A minor) warrior (E minor) bard,
(A minor) (Should) "Tho' all the
world betrays (C major) thee,
One sword, at least, thy rights shall (A minor) guard,
One faith (C major) ful harp shall (D minor) praise
(C major) thee!"
(A minor) (F major) (C major)

Verse 3
The Minstrel fell! But
the foeman's (A minor) steel
Could not (F major) bring (C major) that proud
soul (G major) (C major) under;
The harp he lov'd ne'er
spoke again, (A minor)
For he (F major) tore (C major) its (F major) chords (C major) (G major) (C major) asunder;
Verse 4
And (A minor) said "No chains (C major) shall sully thee,
Thou soul (A minor) of love (C major) and (F major) (C major) brav'ry!
Thy songs were made for
the pure and free (A minor)
They shall (F major) nev (C major) er sound
in slavery!
(D minor) (C major) (F major) (C major)
