De La Rey 
Bok van Blerk

This is an attempt at outlining a ‘finger-picking’ version of the 
song. I recommend holding down the full fingering for the chord at the 
beginning of each bar, that way you can focus on your right hand which 
will be busier than usual.

Here are the chords used in the song for quick reference:

Am (x02210@1)    C (x32010@1)     D (xx0232@1)     Em (022000@1)    G (320003@1)     
e:-------0-------0-------2-------0-------3-------
B:-------1-------1-------3-------0-------0-------
G:-------2-------0-------2-------0-------0-------
D:-------2-------2-------0-------2-------0-------
A:-------0-------3---------------2-------2-------
E:-------------------------------0-------3-------

The song is not as difficult as it looks...so don’t worry too much.  
Once you realise that the finger-picking repeats the same pattern over 
and over and over again, you should feel your confidence increase. 
Plus, since the chords are written as well, you could always switch 
back to strumming the song mid-way through.

Have fun! Please let me know if there any changes/suggestions you have 
to make the tab better,

I would like to send a special shout out to Gerhard Lourens. Your 
original tab gave me a solid base from which to start! Dankie :)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

======================================================================
Here is an English translation for all of those people out there who 
dig the music, but are new to the language:
======================================================================

On a mountain in the night,
we lie in the dark and wait.
In the mud and the blood I lie cold,
the rain and streepsak clings to me.

And my house and my farm were burnt to the ground 
so they could capture us.
But those flames and fire now 
burn deep, deep within me.

CHORUS:
De La Rey, De La Rey can you come and lead the Boers?
De La Rey, De La Rey
General, General we will fall around you as one.
General De La Rey.

Hear the Khakis that laugh,
a handful of us against a massive force.
And with our backs to the mountain cliffs,
they think it is over for us.

But the heart of a Boer 
is deeper and wider, they will come to know.
On a horse he comes, 
the lion of West Transvaal.

CHORUS (2X)

BRIDGE:
Because my wife and my child are in a camp dying,
And the Khakis are walking over a nation that will rise again.

CHORUS (2X)
