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