[F]
[Bb]
[F]
[Dm] [Gm] Oh, [F] [Bb]
the town that [F] climbs the [Bb]
[Dm] mountain and looks [C] out upon the sea
[F] And sleep in time awaking, [Dm] till is there [Bb] I long [F] to be
To walk again that kind of street, [Dm] the place [Bb] where life [F]
began
[Bb] Our boys of [F]
[Dm] Ardashroja went [C] hunting far around
[Bb] With cudgel stacked [F] we [Dm] roamed about to [C] hunt droids
We [F] searched for birds in every forest [Dm] from letter [Bb] to [F] doodly
We sang for joy beneath the sky, [Bb] [Dm] life held [Bb] no print [F] or plan
[Bb] And we both, on [F]
[Dm] Ashroja, a [Bb]-hunting [C] far around
[Bb] And when the hills [F] were bleeding and the rifles [C] were aflame
[F] To the rebel [Bb] [F] halls of Kerri, the [Dm] Saxon [Bb] stranger [F] came
But the men who dared the oxen's arm [Dm] to beat [Bb] the [F] blackened town
Were [Bb] the boys of [F]
[Dm] Ardashroja, a-hunting [C] far
[F] [Bb] And here the [F] toast to them tonight, [Gm] the lads [C] who laughed with [F]
[C] me
[F] By the throes of Kargol river, by [Dm] the slopes [Bb] of [F] Bidati
Jandori and Batandi, [Dm] and the [Bb] Shehens, Khan [F] and Da
And boys, [Bb] born of [F]
Ashroja, who hunted [C] far around
[F]
[C]
[Dm]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb]
[F]
[C]
[Bb] And now they toil [F] on foreign soil, for they have gone [C] their way
[F] Deep in the heart of London town, far over [Bb] in Broadway
[F]
And I have to sing their ears [Bb] and praise them while [F] I can
[Bb] Those boys, [F] born of [Bb]
[Dm] Ashroja, who hunted [C] far around
[Bb] And when the wheel [F] of life runs down and peace comes [C] over me
[F] Oh, lay me down in that old town between [Bb] the hills [F] and sea
I'll take my sleep in those green fields, [Bb] the place my life [F] began
Where the [Bb] boys, born [F] of Ashroja, went hunting [C] far around
