Letra

[Intro]
| Em - | G - | D  A | Em - |
| G  - | D - | Em - |

[Verse 1]
D    Em            G
 Eighteenothree we sailed out to sea
D            A             Em
Out from the sweet town of Derry
                          G
For Australia bound if we didn't all drown
    D            A             Em
The marks of our fetters we carried

[Bridge]
       A                    G
In the rusty iron chains we cried for our wanes
    A                     Bm
Our good women we left in sorrow
       Em
As the main sails unfurled,
    G
our curses we hurled
       D                   A        Em
On the English and thoughts of tomorrow

[Verse 2]
       Em
At the mouth of the Foyle,
        G
bid farewell to the soil
   D          A             Em
As down below decks we were lying
                                G
O Doherty screamed woke him out of a dream
     D             A         Em
By a vision of bold Robert dying

[Bridge]
    A                         G
The sun burned cruel as we dished out the gruel
      A                          Bm
Dan O Connor was down with the fever
      Em                     G
Sixty rebels today bound for Botany Bay
    D              A        Em
How many will reach their reciever?

[Chorus]
G D
  Em         D            Em   G D
I wish I was back home in Derry
  Em         D            Em
I wish I was back home in Derry

[Verse 3]
  Em
I cursed them to hell,
       G
as her bow fought the swell
         D             A           Em
Our ship danced like a moth in the firelight
                             G
Wild horses rode high as the devil passed by
       D          A           Em
Taking souls into Hades by twilight

[Bridge]
     A                        G
Five weeks out to sea we were now forty three
   A                        Bm
We buried our comrades each morning
Em
In our own slime,
        G
we were lost in the time
D       A                Em
Endless night without dawning

[Chorus]
G D
  Em         D            Em   G D
I wish I was back home in Derry
  Em         D            Em
I wish I was back home in Derry

[Verse 4]
Em                     G
Van Diemen's land is a hell for a man
   D                A        Em
To end out his whole life in slavery
                                 G
Where the climate is raw and the gun makes the law
        D             A             Em
Neither wind nor rain care for bravery

[Bridge]
       A                           G
Twenty years have gone by and I've ended my bond
   A                       Bm
My comrades' ghosts walk behind me
  Em            G
A rebel I came, I'm still the same
     D            A              Em
On a cold winters night you will find me

[Chorus]
G D
  Em         D            Em   G D
I wish I was back home in Derry
  Em         D            Em   G D
I wish I was back home in Derry
  Em         D            Em   G D
I wish I was back home in Derry
  Em         D            Em
I wish I was back home in Derry
