Chords with lyrics

Intro:
E minorEm

Verse 1:
  G+G               A minorAm         E minorEm
Oh listen for a moment lads and hear me tell my tale

   C majorC          G+G          A minorAm         E minorEm
How o'er the sea from England's shore I was compelled to sail

   C majorC       G+G          A minorAm          E minorEm
The jury says he guilty sir and the hanging judge says he

   A minorAm          E minorEm       A minorAm         E minorEm
For life Jim Jones I'm sending you across the stormy sea

Verse 2:
   G+G                A minorAm        E minorEm
And take my tip before you ship to join the iron gang

    C majorC        G+G        A minorAm          E minorEm
Don't be too gay at Botany Bay or else you'll surely hang

  C majorC          G+G         A minorAm        E minorEm
Or else you'll surely hang he says and after that Jim Jones

   A minorAm        E minorEm         A minorAm           E minorEm
It's high upon the gallows tree the crows will pick your bones


Verse 3:
    G+G                   A minorAm        E minorEm
You'll have no chance for mischief there remember what I say

     C majorC          G+G        A minorAm         E minorEm
They'll flog the poaching out of you out there at Botany Bay

   C majorC          G+G        A minorAm         E minorEm
The waves were high upon the sea the wind blew up in gales

   A minorAm            E minorEm         A minorAm        E minorEm
I'd rather have drowned in misery than come to New South Wales


Verse 4:
   G+G                   A minorAm         E minorEm
The winds blew high upon the sea and the pirates came along

    C majorC         G+G          A minorAm          E minorEm
But the soldiers on our convict ship were full five hundred strong

   C majorC         G+G          A minorAm       E minorEm
They opened fire and somehow drove that pirate ship away

   A minorAm          E minorEm         A minorAm         E minorEm
I'd rather joined that pirate ship than come to Botany Bay

Verse 5:
   G+G                  A minorAm         E minorEm
For night and day the irons clang and like poor galley slaves

  C majorC          G+G         A minorAm         E minorEm
We toil and toil and when we die must fill dishonored graves

  C majorC           G+G         A minorAm         E minorEm
But bye and bye I'll break my chains into the bush I'll go

   A minorAm          E minorEm          A minorAm       E minorEm
And join the bold bushrangers there Jack Donahoo and Co


Verse 6:
   G+G                  A minorAm         E minorEm
And some dark night when everything is silent in this town

   C majorC          G+G        A minorAm          E minorEm
I'll kill the tyrants one by one and shoot the floggers down

   C majorC         G+G         A minorAm        E minorEm
I'll give the law a little shock remember what I say

    A minorAm          E minorEm          A minorAm        E minorEm
They'll yet regret they sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay
