/ F / C / Bb / F
I / took back my / hand and I / showed him the / door, /
/ F / CG / Bb / C /
No / dollar of / mine would I / part with this / day, /
/ F / CG / Bb / F /
For / fueling the / engine of a / bloody cruel / war , /
/ F / Bb / C /
In my / forefathers' / home far a - / way. /
/ F / C / Bb / F /
Who / fled the first / Famine wearing / all that they / owned, /
/ F / C / Bb / C
Were / called Navi - / gators, all / ragged and / torn, / and
F / C / Bb / F /
Built the Grand / Trunk here and / found a new / home, /
/ F / C / F / / /
Wher - / ever their / children were / born. / / /
/ F / C / Bb / F /
Their / sons have no / politics, / none can re - / call, /
/ F / CG / Bb / C /
All - / egiance from / long gener - / ations be - / fore, /
/ F / CG / Bb / F /
Oh, / this war or / that name can't / matter at / all, /
/ F / Bb / C /
Or / be cause e - / nough for to / war, / and.
F / C / Bb / F /
Meanwhile my / babies are / safe in their / homes, /
/ F / C / Bb /
Un / like their Pale / cousins who / cower and /
C /
cry, /
/ F / C / Bb / F / /
While / knee-cappers / nail their poor / Dads to the / floor, / / and
F / C / F / / /
Teach them to / hate and to / die. / / /
F / C / Bb / F / /
It's those cruel / beggars who / spurn the fair / coin, / /
/ F / CG / Bb / C /
The / Peace for their / kids they could / take at their / will, /
/ F / CG / Bb / F / /
Since the / day old King / Billy pre - / vailed at the / Boyne, / /
/ F / Bb / C / /
They've / bombed and they've / maimed and they've / killed. / /
/ F / C / Bb / F / /
Now they / cry out for / money and / wail at the / door, / / but
F / C / Bb / C /
Home Rule or Re - / public, 'tis / all of it / shame, / and
/ F / C / Bb / F / /
A / curse for us / here who want / nothing of / war, / /
/ F / C / F / / /
We're / kindred in / nothing but / name. / / /
Break: Instrumental - Last 4 lines of verse
/ F / C / Bb / F / /
All / rights and all / wrongs have long / since blown a - / way, / /
/ F / CG / Bb / C /
For / causes are / ashes where / children lie / slain, /
/ F / CG / Bb / F /
Yet the / damned UD - / L and the / cruel IR - / A /
/ F / Bb / C / /
Will to - / morrow go / murdering a - / gain. / /
/ F / C / Bb / F / /
But no / penny of / mine will I / add to the / fray./ /
/ F / C / Bb / C / /
"Re - / member the / Boyne" they will / cry out in / vain, / /
/ F / C / Bb / F / /
For I've / given my / heart to the / place I was / born, / / and
/ F / Bb / C / /
For - / given the / whole House of / Orange, / /
/ F / C / F
King / Billy and the / whole House of / Orange.
/ F / / / / / /
