G+G AM EM
Oh listen for a moment lads and hear me tell my tale
C majorC G+G AM EM
How o'er the sea from England's shore I was compelled to sail
C majorC G+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
G+G AM EM
And take my tip before you ship to join the iron gang
C majorC G+G AM EM
Don't be too gay at Botany Bay or else you'll surely hang
C majorC G+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
G+G AM EM
You'll have no chance for mischief there remember what I say
C majorC G+G AM EM
They'll flog the poaching out of you out there at Botany Bay
C majorC G+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
G+G AM EM
The winds blew high upon the sea and the pirates came along
C majorC G+G AM EM
But the soldiers on our convict ship were full five hundred strong
C majorC G+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
G+G AM EM
For night and day the irons clang and like poor galley slaves
C majorC G+G AM EM
We toil and toil and when we die must fill dishonored graves
C majorC G+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
G+G AM EM
And some dark night when everything is silent in this town
C majorC G+G AM EM
I'll kill the tyrants one by one and shoot the floggers down
C majorC G+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
