            Back Home In Derry by Christy Moore 

[Verse]
   Am      Em   
In 1803 we sailed out to sea  
 G            D             Em  
 Out from the sweet town of Derry   
Am                        Em   
For Australia bound if we didn't all drown          
 G            D          Em  
And the marks of our fetters we carried        
  Am                   Em  
 In our rusty iron chains we sighed for our weans
       Am                    Em   
Our good women we left in sorrow        
  Am                      Em  
 As the mainsails unfurled, our curses we hurled      
    G            D           Am  
 On the English, and thoughts of tomorrow   

[Chorus]
 C    G       Am         G            Am     
 Oh..Oh... I wish I was back home in Derry    
  C   G        Am         G            Am     
 Oh..Oh... I wish I was back home in Derry
