The Boys Of Wexford

Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste [Verse] G C D In comes the captain's daughter, D Em The captain of the Yeos, G C D Saying: Brave United Irishmen, G D G We'll ne'er again be foes. C G A thousand pounds I'll bring C G Em If you will fly from home with me, G C D And dress myself in man's attire G D G And fight for liberty. [Chorus] C G We are the boys of Wexford, C G Em Who fought with heart and hand G C D To burst in twain the galling chain G D G And free our native land. [Verse] G C D I want no gold, my maiden fair, D Em To fly from home with thee; G C D You shining eyes will be my prize - G D G More dear than gold to me. C G I want no gold to nerve my arm C G Em To do a true man's part - G C D To free my land I'd gladly give G D G The red drops of my heart." [Chorus] C G We are the boys of Wexford, C G Em Who fought with heart and hand G C D To burst in twain the galling chain G D G And free our native land. [Verse] G C D And when we left our cabins, boys, D Em We left with right good will G C D To see our friends and neighbours G D G That were at Vinegar Hill C G A young man from our Irish ranks C G Em A cannon he let go; G C D He slapt it into Lord Mountjoy - G D G A tyrant he laid low! Chorus: [Chorus] C G We are the boys of Wexford, C G Em Who fought with heart and hand G C D To burst in twain the galling chain G D G And free our native land. [Verse] G C D We bravely fought and conquered D Em At Ross and Wexford town; G C D Three Bullet Gate for years to come G D G Will speak of our renown; C G Through Walpole's horse and Walpole's foot C G Em On Tubberneering's day, G C D Depending on the long, bright pike G D G We cut our gory way. [Chorus] C G We are the boys of Wexford, C G Em Who fought with heart and hand G C D To burst in twain the galling chain G D G And free our native land. [Verse] G C D And Oulart's name shall be their shame, D Em Whose steel we ne'er did fear. G C D For every man could do his part G D G Like Forth and Shelmalier! C G And if for want of leaders, C G Em We lost at Vinegar Hill, G C D We're ready for another fight, G D G And love our country still! [Chorus] C G We are the boys of Wexford, C G Em Who fought with heart and hand G C D To burst in twain the galling chain G D G And free our native land.
