Standard Tuning Finger Picking - 1 2+ 3+`
I took back my hand and I showed him the door,
F CG Bb CNo dollar of mine would I part with this day,
F CG Bb FFor fueling the engine of a bloody cruel war ,
In my forefathers' home far a - way.
F C Bb FWho fled the first Famine wearing all that they
owned,
Were called Navi - gators, all ragged and torn, and
F C Bb FBuilt the Grand Trunk here and found a new home,
F C FWher - ever their children were born.
F C Bb F
Their sons have no politics, none can
- call,
F CG Bb CAll - egiance from long gener - ations be - fore,
Oh, this war or that name can't matter at all,
F Bb COr be cause e - nough for to war, and.
F C Bb FMeanwhile my babies are safe in their homes,
Un like their Pale cousins who cower and
Ccry,
F C Bb FWhile knee-cappers nail their poor Dads to the floor, and
Teach them to hate and to die.
It's those cruel beggars who spurn the fair coin,
F CG Bb CThe Peace for their kids they could take at their will,
F CG Bb FSince the day old King Billy pre - vailed at the Boyne,
They've bombed and they've maimed and they've killed.
F C Bb FNow they cry out for money and wail at the door, but
F C Bb CHome Rule or Re - public, 'tis all of it shame, and
A curse for us here who want nothing of war,
F C FWe'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,
For causes are ashes where children lie slain,
F CG Bb FYet the damned UD - L and the cruel IR - A
F Bb CWill to - morrow go murdering a - gain.
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 FFor I've given my heart to the place I was born, and
For - given the whole House of Orange,
F C FKing Billy and the whole House of Orange.
