Verse:
E A
She was born by the sea, her father bounced her on his knee,
E A B
While he shared past stories of grandeur,
E
That would dance inside her head,
A E B E
Every night while tucked in bed, same tales, different actor
E A
There were costumes on the floor, she'd use a wooden stick and board,
E A B
To vanquish the foes that were after,
E
All them stuffed up toys,
A E B E
That were sticking round by choice they were family in this together
E A
When she grew like a tree, she sought out bonny company,
E A B
Built the finest crew you could ask for,
E
They were brave and sturdy lads,
A E B E
That remind her of dad, back to back, birds of a feather
Chorus:
A E B
Ah di ah hi di oh a voyage for the soul
E Dbm B E
Back to back, Birds of a feather
Verse:
E A
With a scaled down graph, her husband did the math,
E A B
On a course to have the advantage,
E A
Cause the British they were smart but didn't
E B E
Have the heart of our strong Irish companions
E A
They can write shoddy laws, and try to buy her off,
E A B
But they'll never own what we have here,
E A E B E
a solidarity within familiar seas, cause we are one in the thousands
Chorus:
A E B
Ah di ah hi di oh a voyage for the soul
E Dbm B E
Back to back, Birds of a feather
A E B
Ah di ah hi di oh a voyage for the soul
E Dbm B E
Back to back, Birds of a feather
Verse:
E A
She'd defend her name, as the cannon shots and flames,
E A B
Tried to deter what she is after,
E
And although she lost lost her love,
A E B E
No she's never givin up, to these tyrant, dirty ol bastards
E A
We would charge as a pack, you could never hold us back,
E A B
We are fierce and grew with each battle,
E
It etched inside our veins,
A E B E
The hardships that we've gained, we've become a myth unraveled
Chorus:
A E B
Ah di ah hi di oh a voyage for the soul
E Dbm B E
Back to back, Birds of a feather
A E Gb
Ah di ah hi di oh a voyage for the soul
E Dbm B E
Back to back, Birds of a feather
Verse:
E A
Those final days, in the castle she had claimed,
E A B
She drew the sword that had brought her,
E
Through countless victories,
A E B E
That she survived to see, in the tales of her own grandeur
Chorus:
A E B
Ah di ah hi di oh a voyage for the soul
E Dbm B E
Back to back, Birds of a feather
A E B
Ah di ah hi di oh a voyage for the soul
E Dbm B E
Back to back, Birds of a feather
E Dbm B E
Back to back, Birds of a feather
E Dbm B E
Back to back, Birds of a feather

+3 has easy chords and good if you have a high voice
traspose to -2, it’s way easier 😀
-2 is good for lower voices
-4 is probably the easiest
+3 is pretty easy
Instead of that crazy dbm chord try a c#m. pretty A1 if you do say so myself.
