Christy Moore - Back Home in Derry

Intro Gm | A# | F, C | Gm A# | F | Gm | Dm Verse 1 Gm A# In eighteen-o-three we sailed out to sea F C Gm Out from the sweet town of Derry Gm A# For Australia bound, if we didn't all drown F C Gm The marks of our fetters we carried C A# In our rusty iron chains we cried for our weans C Dm Our good women we left in sorrow Gm A# As the main sails unfurled, our curses we hurled F C Gm Gm On the English and thoughts of tomorrow Verse 2 Gm A# At the mouth of the Foyle, bade farewell to the soil F C Gm As down below decks we were lying Gm A# O'Doherty screamed, woken out of a dream F C Gm By a vision of bold Robert dying C A# The sun burnt cruel as we dished out the gruel C Dm Dan O'Conner was down with a fever Gm A# Sixty rebels today, bound for Botany Bay F C Gm Gm How many will reach their receiver Chorus 1 A# F Gm F Gm Oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry A# F Gm F Gm Oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry

Verse 3 Gm A# I cursed them to hell as our bow fought the swell F C Gm Our ship danced like a moth in the firelight Gm A# White horses rode high as the devil passed by F C Gm Taking souls to Hades by twilight C A# Five weeks out to sea, we were now forty-three C Dm We buried our comrades each morning Gm A# In our own slime we were lost in the time F C Gm Gm Endless night without dawning Chorus 2 A# F Gm F Gm Oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry A# F Gm F Gm Oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry Verse 4 Gm A# Van Diemen's Land is a hell for a man F C Gm To end out his whole life in slavery Gm A# Where the climate is raw and a gun makes the law F C Gm Neither wind nor rain care for bravery C A# Twenty years have gone by, I have ended my bond C Dm My comrades' ghosts walk beside me Gm A# A rebel I came, I'm still the same F C Gm Gm On the cold winds of night you will find me Chorus 3 A# F Gm F Gm Oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry A# F Gm F Gm Oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry
