MEN OF HARLECH
(G)Men of (C)Harlech, (G)march (D)to (G)glory,
(C)Victo(Am)ry is (D)hov’ring o’er ye,
(G)Bright-eyed (C)freedom (G)stands (D)be(G)fore (C)ye,
(G)Hear ye (D)not her (G)call?

(G)At your (C)sloth she (G)seems (D)to (G)wonder;
(C)Rend the (Am)sluggish (D)bonds asunder,
(G)Let the (C)war-cry’s (G)deaf’(D)ning (G)thun(C)der
(G)Every (D)foe ap(G)pal.

(D)Echoes loudly waking,
(G)Hill and valley shaking;
‘Till the sound spreads wide around,
The Saxon’s courage breaking;

Your (C)foes on (G)every (Am)side a(G)ssailing,
(Am)Forward press with (D)heart unfailing,
(G)‘Till in(C)vaders (G)learn (D)with (G)quai(C)ling,
(G)Cambria (D)ne’er can (G)yield!

(G)Thou, who (C)noble (G)Cambria (D)wron(G)gest,

(G)Fate is (D)in her (G)breath.

(D)See, they now are flying!
(G)Dead are heap’d with dying!
Over might hath triumph’d right,
Our land to foes denying;
U(C)pon their (G)soil we (Am)never (G)sought them,
(Am)Love of conquest (D)hither brought them,
(G)But this (C)lesson (G)we (D)have (G)taught (C)them,
(G)“Cambria (D)ne’er can (G)yield!”
