Intro:
Em

Verse 1:
    G                              Am                 Em
Oh listen for a moment lads and hear me tell my tale

     C                   G                   Am                  Em
How o'er the sea from England's shore I was compelled to sail

      C             G                    Am                    Em
The jury says he guilty sir and the hanging judge says he

     Am                    Em              Am                  Em
For life Jim Jones I'm sending you across the stormy sea

Verse 2:
     G                                Am               Em
And take my tip before you ship to join the iron gang

       C               G               Am                    Em
Don't be too gay at Botany Bay or else you'll surely hang

    C                    G                  Am                Em
Or else you'll surely hang he says and after that Jim Jones

      Am               Em                  Am                      Em
It's high upon the gallows tree the crows will pick your bones


Verse 3:
        G                                     Am                Em
You'll have no chance for mischief there remember what I say

         C                   G                Am                 Em
They'll flog the poaching out of you out there at Botany Bay

     C                   G                Am                 Em
The waves were high upon the sea the wind blew up in gales

     Am                       Em                 Am                Em
I'd rather have drowned in misery than come to New South Wales


Verse 4:
     G                                      Am                 Em
The winds blew high upon the sea and the pirates came along

        C                  G                   Am                   Em
But the soldiers on our convict ship were full five hundred strong

      C                 G                    Am              Em
They opened fire and somehow drove that pirate ship away

     Am                    Em                  Am                 Em
I'd rather joined that pirate ship than come to Botany Bay


Verse 5:
     G                                   Am                  Em
For night and day the irons clang and like poor galley slaves

    C                    G                  Am                  Em
We toil and toil and when we die must fill dishonored graves

    C                     G                  Am                 Em
But bye and bye I'll break my chains into the bush I'll go

     Am                    Em                   Am             Em
And join the bold bushrangers there Jack Donahoo and Co


Verse 6:
     G                                    Am                 Em
And some dark night when everything is silent in this town

     C                    G                Am                   Em
I'll kill the tyrants one by one and shoot the floggers down

     C                 G                 Am                Em
I'll give the law a little shock remember what I say

        Am                   Em                   Am                Em
They'll yet regret they sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay
