Em GIn eighteen-o-three we sailed out to sea
D A EmOut from the sweet town of Derry
Em GFor Australia bound, if we didn't all drown
D A EmThe marks of our fetters we carried
A G In our rusty iron chains we cried for our weans
A BmOur good women we left in sorrow
Em GAs the main sails unfurled, our curses we hurled
D A Em EmOn the English and thoughts of tomorrow
Em GAt the mouth of the Foyle, bade farewell to the soil
D A EmAs down below decks we were lying
Em GO'Doherty screamed, woken out of a dream
D A EmBy a vision of bold Robert dying
A GThe sun burnt cruel as we dished out the gruel
A Bm Dan O'Conner was down with a fever
Em GSixty rebels today, bound for Botany Bay
D A Em EmHow many will reach their receiver
G D Em D EmOh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry
G D Em D EmOh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry
Em GI cursed them to hell as our bow fought the swell
D A EmOur ship danced like a moth in the firelight
Em GWhite horses rode high as the devil passed by
D A EmTaking souls to Hades by twilight
A GFive weeks out to sea, we were now forty-three
A BmWe buried our comrades each morning
Em GIn our own slime we were lost in the time
D A Em EmEndless night without dawning
G D Em DOh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry
G D Em D EmOh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry
Em GVan Diemen's Land is a hell for a man
D A EmTo end out his whole life in slavery
Em GWhere the climate is raw and a gun makes the law
D A EmNeither wind nor rain care for bravery
A GTwenty years have gone by, I have ended my bond
A mMy comrades' ghosts walk beside me
Em GA rebel I came, I'm still the same
D A Em EmOn the cold winds of night you will find me
G D Em DOh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry
G D Em D EmOh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry
