[Bb] [Cm] [Bb] [C] Oh come listen for a moment lads and hear me tell my tale
[Cm] I was this from England [C] I was condemned to sail
The jury [Cm] found me guilty and says the judge says he owe for life
[C] Jim Jones I'm sending you across the raging sea
And [Cm] take my tip before you ship to join the Iron Gang
Don't get too [Cm] gay on Botany [Fm] Bay or else [C] you'll surely hang
Or else [Cm] you'll hang he says says he and after that
Jim Jones it is [Eb] high upon the gallows tree [Bbm] the crows [C] will pick your bone
You'll [Eb]
have no chance for mischief there [C] remember what I say
They'll [Cm] flog the poaching out of [F] you out [C] there on Botany Bay
Let the [Cm] wind fly in Torrance and the wind blow up in Cairnswide
[F] [Cm] Rather die in misery than [C] go to New South Wales
[Eb] Mother Sea it flew in Torrance and the [C] pirates came along
But the [Cm] soldiers all on board our ship [C] they were four five hundred strong
They [Cm] opened fire and soon they drove that [C] pirate [Cm] ship away
Oh why [Bb] [Cm] rather a god on a pirate ship than gone [C] to Botany Bay
[Eb] Where day and night the irons [Bb] clang and [C] like poor galley slag
We toil and toil and when we die we fill dishonoured graves
But boy and boy I'll break my chains and [Cm] into the bush I'll go
And I'll join the brave bush rangers there Jack, [C] Donahue and Co
[Eb] And one dark night when everything [Bb] is [C] silent in the town
I'll [Cm] kill the tyrants one by one I'll [C] shoot the floggers down
I'll give [Cm] the law one little shock remember what I say
[Bb] Oh they'll yet regret [Cm] they sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay
[F] [Cm] [Bb] [C]
