Verse
A#m Fm
In 1803 we sailed out to sea
G# D# A#m
Out from the sweet town of Derry
A#m Fm
For Australia bound if we didn't all drown
G# D# A#m
And the marks of our fetters we carried.
A#m Fm
In our rusty iron chains we sighed for our wains
A#m Fm
Our women we left all in sorrow.
A#m Fm
As the mainsails unfurled our curses we hurled
G# D# A#m
On the English and thoughts of tomorrow.
[Chorus]
C# G# A#m G# A#m
Oh…Oh I wish I was back home in Derry.
C# G# A#m G# A#m
Oh…Oh I wish I was back home in Derry.
[Verse 2]
A#m Fm
I cursed them to hell as our bow rode the swell.
G# D# A#m
Our ship danced like a moth in the firelight.
A#m Fm
White horses rode high as the devil passed by
G# D# A#m
Taking souls to Hades by twilight.
A#m Fm
Five weeks out to sea we were now forty-three
A#m Fm
Our comrades we buried each morning.
A#m Fm
In our own slime we were lost in time.
G# D# A#m
Endless night without dawning.
[Chorus]
C# G# A#m G# A#m
Oh…Oh I wish I was back home in Derry.
C# G# A#m G# A#m
Oh…Oh I wish I was back home in Derry.
[Verse 3]
A#m Fm
Van Dieman's land is a hell for a man
G# D# A#m
To live out his life in slavery.
A#m Fm
When the climate is raw and the gun makes the law.
G# D# A#m
Neither wind nor rain cares for bravery.
A#m Fm
Twenty years have gone by and I've ended my bond
A#m Fm
My comrades' ghosts are behind me.
A#m Fm
A# rebel I came and I'm still the same.
G# D# A#m
On the cold winds of night you will find me
[Chorus]
C# G# A#m G# A#m
Oh…Oh I wish I was back home in Derry.
C# G# A#m G# A#m
Oh…Oh I wish I was back home in Derry.
