Hi, Dylan - here are the chords from the Ewan MacColl - Peggy Seeger Songbook (Oak Publications, 1963)

       E            B7            E          B7
  Far distant, far distant, lies Foyers the brave,
       E          B7           A           E
  No tombstone memorial shall hallow his grave
       E              B7               A             E
  His bones they are scattered on the rude soil of Spain,
        E          B         A          E
  For young Jamie Foyers in battle was slain.

I didn't like the tune we have in the Digital Tradition, so I transcribed the one from the songbook.
