The Minstrel Boy Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

The Gminstrel Cboy to the Gwar has gCone.

In the Emranks of Gdeath you will fDind hGim.

His Gfather's Csword he has Ggirded Con

And his Emwild harp slGung behDind hGim.

Em"Land of song," said the Dwarrior bard,

"Though Call the world beDtray thee,

One Gsword at lCeast thy rGoads shall guCard,

One EmfaithDful Gheart shall prDaise thGee."

The minstrel fell, but the foeman's chain

Could not bring that proud soul under.

The harp he loved never spoke again,

For he tore its cords asunder,

And said, "No chain shall sully thee

Thou soul of love and bravery.

My songs remain for the pure and free.

They shall never sound in slavery."
