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