_ _ _ _ _ _ _
In [G] 1803 [Eb] we sailed out to sea, [Bb] out [G] from the sweet Channel [Cm] _ Derry _
Frustrated really but if [Eb] we didn't talk [Bb] the run on the marks [C] of our [Cm] feathers we [G] carried _
[F] _ Rusty old Samson cried for our wins, a good woman [Gm] we left in _ sorrow
_ _ _ [Cm] As the men sailed in for [Eb] all the curses we hurled [G] at the English and thoughts [Cm] of tomorrow
_ _ _ [Gm] _
[Cm] And at the mouth of the foil [Eb] we bid farewell to our [Bb] soil, down [F] below decks [Cm] we were lying _ _
With our hearty scream [Eb] broken out of its dream [G] of facing a bold [Cm] Robert dying
For [F] the [C] sunburnt curl [F] sweetest of the [G] girls and the connor was done [Gm] with the [G] fever _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Cm] Sixty rebels today [Eb] but for what they [G] pay, the money will reach [Cm] the receiver
_ _ _ _ Sing [Eb] it!
Oh, _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
how the sails back home [Cm] in Derry
Let me hear you!
[Eb] Oh, _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Cm] how the sails back home in Derry _
_ _ _ _ But we cursed down to hell as [Eb] our bow fought the swell, [G] our ship danced like a [Cm] moth in the firelight
_ _ White horses [D] rode high [Eb] as the devil passed [Bb] by, taking souls [C] to Hades [Cm] by twilight
[F] Five weeks at sea, would not forty three, [G] we buried our [Gm] comrades in swan
_ _ _ And _ [Cm] _ rocks [Eb] slimy, lost for [G] time, _ and last night [Cm] the dawn _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] Oh, _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Gm] how the sails back home in Derry Again!
Oh, _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Cm] how the sails [G]
back home [Cm] in _ Derry _ _ _

_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [Cm] Oh, what demons [Eb] land is a hell for a man [Bb] to endow [C] this whole life [Cm] in slavery
_ But the claim is [G] raw, [Eb] the gun makes the law, [G] neither wind nor rain care [Cm] for bravery
_ [D] Twenty [F] years have gone by, I've learned in my bonds, [G] _ comrades go swat behind _ me
[Gm] _ _ _
[Cm] River like him, [Gm] I'll die the same [Bb] on the cold [G] when at night [Cm] you will find _ _ me
_ _ [Eb] Oh, [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] how the [Eb] sails back [Cm] home in Derry
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [Cm] Oh, how the sails back home in Derry
Let me hear you say [Eb] it!
Oh, _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] how _ _ _ _ [Cm] the sails back home in Derry
[Eb] Oh, _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] how the sails back home in Derry
