Chords

Capo on 3 - I think these chords work ok for a simplified version of this Welsh battle song. Verse 1
G      C       G        Em
Men of Harlech march to glory

C    Am    D
Victory is hov’ring o’er ye

Bright-eyed freedom stands before ye

G       D       G
Hear ye not her call
Verse 2
G       C         G        Em
At your sloth she seems to wonder

C        Am       D
Rend the sluggish bonds asunder

G       C         G        Em
Let the war-cry’s deafning thunder

Every foe appall
Refrain 1
D
Echoes loudly waking

G
Hill and valley shaking

G
‘Till the sound spreads wide around

G
The Saxon’s courage breaking

     C       G     Am    G
Your foes on every side assailing

Am                 D
Forward press with heart unfailing

‘Till invaders learn with quailing

G       D         G
Cambria ne’er can yield
Verse 3
G        C     G       Em
Thou who noble Cambria wrongest

C         Am        D
Know that freedom’s cause is strongest

Ending but with death

Freedom stoutest mail can shatter

G       C        G         Em
Freedom thickest walls can batter

G       D      G
Fate is in her breath
Refrain 2
D
See they now are flying

G
Dead are heap’d with dying

G
Over might hath triumph’d right

G
Our land to foes denying

 C         G       Am    G
Upon their soil we never sought them

Am               D
Love of conquest hither brought them

G        C      G       Em
But this lesson we have taught them

G       D         G
Cambria ne’er can yield

G        C      G       Em
But this lesson we have taught them

G       D         G
Cambria ne’er can yield
