this is a really easy way of playing this , it’s not correct i know , but sounds fine .

G C G C
the minstrel boy to the war is gone ,
G Em D G
in the ranks of death ye will find him;
G C G C
his father’s sword he hath girded on ,
G Em D G
and his wild harp slung behind him;
Em C D G
“land of song!” said the warrior bard ,
C Em C D
“tho’ all the world betray thee ,
G C G C
one sword , at least , thy rights shall guard ,
G Em D G
one faithful harp shall praise thee!”

the minstrel fell! but the foeman’s chain
could not bring his proud soul under;
the harp he lov’d ne’er spoke again ,
for he tore its chords asunder;
and said “no chains shall sully thee ,
thou soul of love and bravery!
thy songs were made for the pure and free
they shall never sound in slavery!”
