[Verse 1]
    A                       E    A
The minstrel boy to the war he's gone
       D     A               E    A
In the ranks of death you'll find him
    A                        E   A
His father's sword he has girded on
        D    A            E    A
And his wild harp slung behind him


[Chorus]
F#m  Db F#m            E  B    E
Land of song, said the warrior bard,
      F#m     C#m     D E   A
Thuo' all the world betrays thee
    A                        E     A
One sword at least thy roads shall guard
    D        A           E      A
One faithful heart shall praise thee


[Verse 2]
    A                        E     A
The Minstrel fell but the foeman's chains
          D        A          E A
Could not bring it proud soul under
    A                         E A
The harp he loved never spoke a-gain
       D        A       E  A
For he tore its chords asunder


[Chorus]
F#m Db  F#m              E B   E
And said no chains shall sully thee
      F#m     C#m      D  E A
Thou' soul of love and bravery
     A                            E   A
They songs were made for the pure and free
           D     A        E    A
They shall never sound in slavery

F#m Db  F#m              E B   E
And said no chains shall sully thee
      F#m     C#m      D  E A
Thou' soul of love and bravery
     A                            E   A
They songs were made for the pure and free
           D     A        E    A
They shall never sound in slavery
