Verse

Hold me now, oh hold me now
    D MajorD  G5G5     D MajorD   G5G5 D MajorD

Till this hour has gone around
     B minorBm  G5G5     A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA

And I'm gone on the rising tide
    F# minorF#m         B minorBm   G5G5

For to face Van Diemen's land
    D MajorD  A augmentedA      D MajorD   G5G5 D MajorD

It's a bitter pill I swallow here
        D MajorD    G5G5   D MajorD   G5G5 D MajorD

To be rent from one so dear
    B minorBm    G5G5   A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA

We fought for justice and not for gain
        F# minorF#m        B minorBm      G5G5

But the magistrate sent me away
        D MajorD  A augmentedA    D MajorD    G5G5 D MajorD

Now kings will rule and the poor will toil
        D MajorD  G5G5         D MajorD   G5G5 D MajorD

And tear their hands as they tear the soil
        B minorBm  G5G5        A augmentedA

But a day will come in the dawning age
        F# minorF#m         B minorBm   G5G5

When an honest man sees an honest wage
        D MajorD     A augmentedA   D MajorD     G5G5 D MajorD

Hold me now, hold me now
    D MajorD G5G5     D MajorD   G5G5 D MajorD

Till this hour has gone around
     B minorBm  G5G5     A augmentedA

And I'm gone on the rising tide
    F# minorF#m        B minorBm      G5G5

For to face Van Diemen's land
    D MajorD   A augmentedA      D MajorD      G5G5 D MajorD

Still the gunman rules and widows pay
A augmentedA scarlet coat now a black beret
They thought that blood and sacrifice
Could out of death bring forth a life


THE END!
