The Rights Of Man Song Lyrics And Guitar Chords

The Wolfe Tones. There's 2 different tunes with the name ''The Rights Of Man'' , one is just a tune with no words. This one has lyrics and was written by John Sheils, a United Irishman Presbyterian from Drogheda, a few years prior to the 1798 Rising.. I'm not 100% sure about the song writer but it was the best info. I could find about the song. It was recorded by The Wolfe Tones on the album The Teddy Bear's Head [ song ] in 1971. The chords are a bit complicated for the novice player and were worked out by Marc.For Wolfe Tones version use a capo on the 3rd fret to change key to D#m. Return to The Wolfe Tones Songs
