Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros were an English band formed by Joe Strummer in 1999 that went on to make three albums prior to Strummer’s untimely death in 2002. Musically, the band continued the genre-mixing that Strummer was known for during his time with The Clash. Elements of reggae, jazz, funk, hip hop, country, and of course punk rock can be found in the three Mescaleros releases. Many of the members of the Mescaleros were gifted multi-instrumentalists: the original line-up consisted of Strummer on vocals and guitar

GCGC 1 The minstrel boy to the war has gone GEmDG in the ranks of death you'll find him GCGC His father's sword he has girded on GEmDG and his wild harp slung behind him
EmCD - G Land of Song said the warrior bard EmBmCD though all the world betrays thee GCGC one sword at least thy rights shall guard GEmDG one faithful harp shall praise thee

GCGC The minstrel fell but the foeman's chains GEmDG could not bring this proud soul under GCGC The harp he loved never spoke again GEmDG for he tore its chords asunder
EmCDG And said no chains shall sully thee EmBmCD thou soul of love and bravery GCGC Thy songs were made for the pure and free GEmDG they shall never sound in slavery
