Am C G D Am
In 1803 we sailed out to sea, Out from the sweet town of Derry.
Am C G D Am For Australia bound, if we didn't all drown, The marks of our fetters we carried.
D Em Am Em
In our rusty iron chains we cried for our wains, Our good women we left in sorrow.
Am C
As the main sails unfurled, our curses we hurled,
G D Am
On the English and thoughts of tomorrow.
Am C
At the mouth of the Foyle, bade farewell to the soil,
G D Am
As down below decks we were lying.
Am C G D Am O'Doherty screamed, woken out of a dream, By a vision of bold Robert dying.
D Em
The sun burnt cruel as we dished out the gruel,
Am Em
Dan O'Connor was down with a fever.
Am C G D Am
Sixty rebels today, bound for Botany Bay, How many will reach their receiver.

Oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry.
C G Am G Am
Oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry.

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