AmEm
In 1803 we sailed out to sea
GDEm
Out from the sweet town of Derry
AmEm
For Australia bound if we didn't all drown
GDEm
And the marks of our fetters we carried
AmEm
In our rusty iron chains we sighed for our weans
AmEm
Our good women we left in sorrow
AmEm
As the mainsails unfurled, our curses we hurled
GDAm
On the English, and thoughts of tomorrow
[Chorus]
CGAmGAm
Oh..Oh... I wish I was back home in Derry
CGAmGAm
Oh..Oh... I wish I was back home in Derry
