STAN ROGERS – The House of Orange from “From Fresh Water” (1984) [Intro] F Fsus4 F Fsus4 [Verse 1]
I Dmtook back my Chand and I Bbshowed him the Fdoor No Fdollar of Dmmine would I Cmpart with this Gmday Bb For Ffueling the Dmengine of a Bbbloody cruel Fwar In my Gmforefather’s Dmhome far aCway Who Dmfled the first CFamine wearing Bball that they Fowned Were Fcalled ‘NaviDmgators’ all Cmragged and Gmtorn Bb And Fbuilt the Grand DmTrunk here and Bbfound a new Fhome WherDmever their Cchildren were Fborn Fsus4 F Fsus4
[Verse 2]
Their Dmsons have no Cpolitics, Bbnone can reFcall AlFlegiance from Dmlong geneCmrations beGmfore Bb O’Fthis or O’Dmthat name can’t Bbmatter at Fall Or Gmbe cause eDmnough for to Cwar And Dmmeanwhile my Cbabies are Bbsafe in their Fhome UnFlike their pale Dmcousins who Cmcower and Gmcry Bb While Fkneecappers Dmnail their poor Bbdads to the Ffloor And Dmteach them to Chate and to Fdie Fsus4 F Fsus4
[Verse 3]
It’s Dmthose cruel Cbeggars who Bbspurn the fair Fcoin The Fpeace for their Dmkids they could Cmtake at their Gmwill Bb Since the Fday old King DmBilly preBbvailed at the FBoyne They’ve Gmbombed and they’ve Dmmaimed and they’ve Ckilled Now they Dmcry out for Cmoney and Bbwail at the Fdoor But Home FRule or DmRepublic ’tis Cmall of it Gmshame Bb And a Fcurse for us Dmhere who want Bbnothing of Fwar We’re Dmkindred in Cnothing but Fname
[Instrumental] Dm C Bb F F Dm Cm Gm Bb F Dm Bb F Dm C F Fsus4 F Fsus4 [Verse 4]
All Dmrights and all Cwrongs have long Bbsince blown aFway For Fcauses are Dmashes where Cmchildren lie Gmslain Bb Yet the Fdamned U.D.DmL. and the Bbcruel I.R.FA. Will toGmmorrow go Dmmurdering aCgain But no Dmpenny of Cmine will I Bbadd to the Ffray “ReFmember the DmBoyne!” they will Cmcry out in Gmvain Bb For I’ve Fgiven my Dmheart to the Bbplace I was Fborn And forGmgiven the Dmwhole House of COrange King DmBilly and the Cwhole House of FOrange Fsus4 F
