Christy Moore - Back Home in Derry chords with lyrics

Gm _ _ _ _ Bb _ _ _ _ .
F _ _ C _ _ Gm _ _ _ _ .
Bb _ _ _ _ F _ _ _ _ .
Gm _ _ _ _ Dm _ _ _ _ .
Gm _ _ In 1803 we Bb sailed out to sea, F Out C from the sweet Gm town of Derry.
_ .
For Australia bound, if Bb we didn't all drown, F The C marks of our feathers Gm we carried.
_ .
C In our rusty iron Bb chains we cried for our ways, C Our good women we Dm left in sorrow.
_ .
Gm As the main sails unfurled, the Bb curses we hurled, F On the English C and Tots of Gm tomorrow.
_ _ .
_ _ _ At the mouth of the foil Bb bid farewell to the soil, F As down C below decks we Gm were laying.
_ Old Doherty screamed, Bb woken out of a dream, F By a vision C of old Gm Robert's dead.
_ _ C The sun burnt cruel Bb as witched of the gruel, C Donna Connor was down with Dm her fee.
_ _ Gm Sixty rebels today, Bb bound for Bodney Bay, F How many C will reach Gm their receipt _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
Bb _ _ _ _ F _ _ Oh, Gm I wish F I was back Gm home in Derry.
_ _ .
Bb _ Oh, _ F _ _ _ .
Gm I wish F I was back Gm home in Derry.
_ _ .
_ _ _ I cursed them to hell Bb as our bow fought the swell, F Our ship danced C like a moth Gm in the fires.
White horses rode high Bb as the devil passed by, C Taking souls to hades Gm by twilight.
_ C Five weeks out to sea, Bb we were now forty-three, C We buried our comrades Dm each morning.
_ _ Gm In our own slime Bb we were lost in the time, _ F _ C Endless night without Gm dawn.
_ _ _ _ _ Bb _ .
_ _ _ _ F _ Oh, Gm I wish I F was back home Gm in Derry.
_ _ .
Bb Oh, _ _ F _ _ _ .
Gm I wish I F was back home Gm in Derry.
_ .
_ _ _ _ Van Diemen's Bb land is a hell for a man, F To end all C his whole Gm life in slavery.
_ But the climate is Bb raw, and the gun makes the law, F Neither wind C nor rain care Gm for me.
_ _ C Twenty years have gone by, Bb I've ended my bond, C My comrades go swat Dm behind me.
_ Gm A rebel like him, Bb I'm still the same, F Under cold C winds of night you Gm will find me.
_ _ _ _ _ .
Bb _ _ _ _ F Oh, I Gm wish F I was back Gm home in Derry.
_ _ .
Bb _ Oh, _ F _ _ _ .
Gm I wish I was F back Gm home in Derry.
