 D                 A   D                A 
Last born of the clan first one to be free 
 D              A        D                  A 
Lived inside a house, beneath the hangin' tree 
 D           A            D                 A 
Londonderry nights that chilled him to the bone 
 D                   A       D            A 
Words were cried at night in unforgiving tones 

  Bm         Fm       G 
Blood of his men was gone beneath snow 
    Bm            Fm            G

Verso: 
 D                A       D              A 
Violence from without and anger from within 
  D                   A     D                  A 
Crawling through the fields informin' next of kin 
  D                    A          D                A 
They all turned their backs but they all knew his name 
    D              A            D              A 
And if he could return they'd probably do the same
