[Gm] In 1803 we [Bb] sailed out to sea, Out [C] from the sweet [G] town of Derry,
_ [Gm] _
For Australia bound, [Bb] if we didn't all drown, The marks of our [Gm] feathers we carried. _
[C] In the rusty iron [Bb] chains we cried for our [C] ways, Our good women we [D] left in sorrow,
[Dm] _
As [Gm] the main sails unfurled, [Bb] a curse as we hurled, [F] On the English and thoughts [Gm] of tomorrow. _ _
_ _ _ At the mouth of the foil [Bb] bid farewell to the soil, [F] As down [C] below decks [Gm] we were laying.
_ _ Old Doherty screamed, [Bb] awoken out of a dream, [F] By a vision [C] of old [Gm] Robert's day.
The [C] sun burnt cruel [Bb] as we stood the gruel, [C] Dan O'Connor was down [Dm] with his fee,
_ [Gm] Sixty rebels today, vouch [Bb] for Botany Bay, [F] How many [C] will reach [Gm] their receipt. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ Oh, _ [F] _ _ _
[G] I wish [F] I was back [Gm] home in Derry. _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
I _ _ cursed them to hell [Bb] as our bow fought the swell, [F] Our ship danced [C] to like a moth [Gm] in the fires.
_ White horses rode high [Bb] as the devil passed by, [C] Taking souls to her days [Gm] by twilight.
_ [C] Five weeks out to sea [Bb] we were now forty-three, [C] We buried our comrades [Dm] each morning.
_ _ [Gm] In our own slime [Bb] we were lost in the time, _ [C] Endless night without [Gm] dawn. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] Oh, _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Gm] I wish I [F] was back home [Gm] in Derry. _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Van Diemen's land [Bb] is a hell for a man, [F] To end all [C] his whole life [Gm] in slavery.
_ But the climate is raw, [Bb] and the gun makes the law, [F] Neither [C] wind nor rain care [Gm] for bread.
_ [C] Twenty years have gone by, [Bb] I've ended my bond, [C] My comrades go swat [Dm] behind me.
_ [Gm] A rebel like him, [Bb] I'm still the same, [F] Under cold [C] winter night you [Gm] will find me. _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] Oh, _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Gm] I wish [F] I was back [Gm] home in Derry. _ _
[Bb] _ Oh, _ [F] _ _ _
[Gm] I wish [F] I was back [Gm] home in Derry. _ _
