The Rights Of Man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]I s[D]peak with grandeur one
[G]night in [D]slumber
My [F#m]mind d[Bm]id wander near
[Em]to A[Bm]th lo[Em]ne[Bm][A]
The [D]centre station of
[G]this Irish na[D]tion
A [F#m]congreg[Bm]ation [Em]unto me
[G]was[Em] shown[D]
Bey[G]ond my counting
[D]upon a mountain
Near to a [Bm]fountain that [G]clearly ran
[Em]My f[G]eet [A]di[D]d tremble,
I'll [G]not [D]dissemble
As [A]they as[F#m]sembled[Bm]
for [G]the Rights [D]of Man

[Verse 2]
All [D]clad in green [A]there I [G]thought [D]I seen
A [F#m]virtuous [Bm]queen who was
grave and [A]old
Saying [D]children dear now, [G]do not [D]fear
But come and [Bm]hear what I [D]will unfold
This [G]fertile country for [D]seven centuries
Since Strong[F#m]bow's [Bm]entry
upon [Em]our l[A]and
Has [D]been kept under with
[G]woes un[D]numbered
And [F#m]always [Bm]plundered of the [G]Rights of Man
[D]My

[Verse 3]
cause you chided, you [G]so de[D]rided
And [A]when [Bm]di vided alas
you [Em]know[Bm][A]
All [D]in disorder 'round [G]Erin's [D]border
Strife, [F#m]grief and [Bm]murder have [Em]left you [D]low
Let [G]each communion de[D]test disunion
In [F#m]love and u[Bm]nion join hand in hand
[Em]An d[A] believe[D] ol' Gráinne that
[G]proud [D]Britannia
Shall [F#m]no more rob[Bm] you of
the [G]Rights [D]of Man

[Verse 4]
Then [D]I caught the crowd,
they all [G]spoke [D]aloud
And fight[F#m]ing st[Bm]opped and
vowed to take advice
[Em]They[G] seeme[A]d [D]delighted
and [G]all [D]united
Not [F#m]to be fri[Bm]ghtened but to [G]rej[D]oice
Her [G]harp so pleasing, she [D]played amazing
I [F#m]still stood [Bm]gazing but
could not understand
[Em]She [A]sang most en[D]chanting
and [G]most en[D]dearing
Saying [F#m]"Always be [Bm]true to
[G]The [D]Rig[D]hts of Man"
