The Boy From Tamlaghduff Chords & Lyrics - Christy Moore

As [Am]I w[G]alked over the [F]Glenshane [G]Pass I heard a [Am]young girl mourn
The boy from Tamlagh[C]duff she cried is[G] two years dead and [Am]gone
How my heart is [C]torn apart t[G]his young man to [E]lose
Oh We’ll [Am]never s[G]ee the l[F]ikes ag[G]ain of my young [F]Francis [Am]Hughes

For[Am] ma[G]ny years his ex[F]ploits were[G] a thorn in E[Am]ngland’s side
The hills and glens [C]became his home it was [G]there he used to [Am]hide
Once when they [C]surrounded him he [G]quietly slipped [E]away
[Am]Like a [G]fox he w[F]ent to [G]ground and kept the [F]dogs a[Am]t bay

[Am]Moving r[G]ound the [F]country[G]side he often [Am]made the news
But they could never [C]lay there hands on [G]my brave francis [Am]hughes
Finally they wou[C]nded him then captured[G] him at[E] last
From[Am] the co[G]untrysid[F]e he lo[G]ved they [F]took him to [Am]belfast

From Mus[Am]grave Pa[G]rk to Cru[F]mlin Ro[G]ad then to a [Am]H-Block cell
He went straight on the [C]blanket then on [G]hunger strike as[Am] well
His will to win [C]they could never break[G] no matter what [E]they tried
He [Am]fought them [G]every [F]day he [G]lived and he [F]fought them [Am]as he died

As [Am]I w[G]alked over the [F]Glenshane [G]Pass I heard a [Am]young girl mourn
The boy from Tamlagh[C]duff she cried is[G] two years dead and [Am]gone
How my heart is [C]torn apart t[G]his young man to [E]lose
Oh We’ll [Am]never s[G]ee the l[F]ikes ag[G]ain of my young [F]Francis [Am]Hughes
