[G] In
[D] 1878, [C] was the year I remember [G] so well,
They put my [D] father in an alley grave, [C] and spun my [G] mother in jail.
Now I don't know [D] what's right or wrong, [C] but they hung Christ [G] on nails.
Six kids at [D] home and two still on the press, [C] they wouldn't even [G] give a pale.
We sing, poor Ned, [D] you're better off dead, [C] at least you'll get some [G]
peace of mind.
You're out on the track, [Bm] they're right [A] on your [Em] back, boy they're gonna [G] hang you high.
And now I wrote a little [D] ballad, string [A] about three, [C] so they would [G] understand.
But I might be [D] a pusher ranger, [C] but I'm not a [G] murdering man.
And I didn't want to [D] shoot Kennedy, or [C] that copper [G] line gun.
He alone [D] could have saved his life [C] by throwing down [G] his gun.
We sing, poor Ned, [D] you're better off dead, [C] at least you'll get some [G] peace of mind.

He fought so very [D] [C] bravely, dressed in iron [G] mail.
No man [D] single-handed [Am] can [C] hope to [G] break the bars.
Kids a thousand like [D] Ned Kelly, [C] will hoist the [G] flag of stars.
