Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
[Verse]
She was born b
y the sea, her
father bounce
d her on his k
nee,
While he share
d past stories
of grandeur,
That would dan
ce inside her
head,
Every night wh
ile tucked in
bed, same tale
s, different a
ctor
There were cos
tumes on the f
loor, she'd us
e a wooden sti
ck and board,
To vanquish th
e foes that we
re after,
All them stuff
ed up toys,
That were stic
king round by
choice they we
re family in t
his together
When she grew
like a tree, s
he sought out
bonny company,
Built the fine
st crew you co
uld ask for,
They were brav
e and sturdy l
ads,
That remind he
r of dad, back
to back, bird
s of a feather
[Chorus]
Ah di ah hi di
oh a voyage f
or the soul
Back to back,
Birds of a fea
ther
[Verse]
With a scaled
down graph, he
r husband did
the math,
On a course to
have the adva
ntage,
Cause the Brit
ish they were
smart but didn
't
Have the heart
of our strong
Irish compani
ons
They can write
shoddy laws,
and try to buy
her off,
But they'll ne
ver own what w
e have here,
A solidarity w
ithin familiar
seas, cause w
e are one in t
he thousands
[Chorus]
Ah di ah hi di
oh a voyage f
or the soul
Back to back,
Birds of a fea
ther
Ah di ah hi di
oh a voyage f
or the soul
Back to back,
Birds of a fea
ther
[Verse]
She'd defend h
er name, as th
e cannon shots
and flames,
Tried to deter
what she is a
fter,
And although s
he lost lost h
er love,
No she's never
givin up, to
these tyrant,
dirty ol basta
rds
We would charg
e as a pack, y
ou could never
hold us back,
We are fierce
and grew with
each battle,
It etched insi
de our veins,
The hardships
that we've gai
ned, we've bec
ome a myth unr
aveled
[Chorus]
Ah di ah hi di
oh a voyage f
or the soul
Back to back,
Birds of a fea
ther
Ah di ah hi di
oh a voyage f
or the soul
Back to back,
Birds of a fea
ther
[Verse]
Those final da
ys, in the cas
tle she had cl
aimed,
She drew the s
word that had
brought her,
Through countl
ess victories,
That she survi
ved to see, in
the tales of
her own grande
ur
[Chorus]
Ah di ah hi di
oh a voyage f
or the soul
Back to back,
Birds of a fea
ther
Ah di ah hi di
oh a voyage f
or the soul
Back to back,
Birds of a fea
ther
Back to back,
Birds of a fea
ther
Back to back,
Birds of a fea
