[Gm]
[Bb] Come listen for a moment [C] lads, hear [Gm] me tell [G] my [Gm] tale
[G] Across sea from England [F] boys, [Bb] I was compelled [Gm] to sail
Now the jury [G] said he's [F] guilty sir, [Eb] said the [Bbm] judge, [G] said he
[Gm] [Cm] All life Jim [Gm] Jones I'm sending you, cross [G] that stormy sea
[C]
[Bb] And take this tip before you [C] ship to join the [Gm] Iron Gate
[G] Don't be too gay in Botany [F] Bay [Eb] or [Gm] else you'll surely hang

[F] [Bb] Now night and day, and the iron's [A] clanging like poor [Gm] Galley's sleigh
[A] We toil [Bb] and toil and when [C] we die must [Gm] fill this honoured grave
