          C minorCm
So you just keep on drinking
        Bb majorBb
And you try to forget
C minorCm                        Bb majorBb
How they strung up Joe Byrne from the jailhouse door
Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb
  Like a marionette


          C minorCm
He was dead for two days
           Bb majorBb
and I'll tell you no lies
C minorCm                      Bb majorBb
With the press still around him, making their money
     Eb MajorEb              G+G
Shooting postcards of him through the flies

      C minorCm  Eb MajorEb
Close your eyes, Kate
DmDm          G+G
and I'll sing you to sleep
      C minorCm  Eb MajorEb
Close your eyes, Kate
DmDm          G+G
Your dreams will be sweet
   C minorCm      FF
Kate Kelly, Kate Kelly
AbAb  Bb majorBb
I'm going to sing you to sleep


           C minorCm
Ned rose up from the mist
         Bb majorBb
A augmentedA man made of iron
C minorCm                 Bb majorBb
Fighting his way to the smouldering inn
   Eb MajorEb             Bb majorBb
Where Joe, and his brother, were dying


             C minorCm
They had to shoot out his legs, Kate
          Bb majorBb
But if you could sleep
C minorCm                   Bb majorBb
You could forget that they cut off his head
    Eb MajorEb        G+G
For the warden's own paperweight

      C minorCm  Eb MajorEb
Close your eyes, Kate
DmDm          G+G
and I'll sing you to sleep
      C minorCm  Eb MajorEb
Close your eyes, Kate
DmDm          G+G
Your dreams will be sweet
AbAb     Eb MajorEb
Don't wait around here
     DmDm      G+G
May your soul rest in peace
   C minorCm      FF
Kate Kelly, Kate Kelly
AbAb  Bb majorBb
I'm going to sing you to sleep


        C minorCm
And now you do horse tricks
        Bb majorBb
In a wild west show
C minorCm                 Bb majorBb
Sharpshooting Kate, the last of the Kellys
    Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb
Now the queen of the rodeo


       C minorCm
Was Joe your lover?
           Bb majorBb
Did he send you some word?
C minorCm                      Bb majorBb
A augmentedA friend to your brothers all the way to the end
     Eb MajorEb              G+G
Where as brothers-in-arms they would fall


      C minorCm  Eb MajorEb
Close your eyes, Kate
DmDm          G+G
and I'll sing you to sleep
      C minorCm  Eb MajorEb
Close your eyes, Kate
DmDm          G+G
Your dreams will be sweet
   C minorCm      FF
Kate Kelly, Kate Kelly
AbAb  Bb majorBb
I'm going to sing you to sleep

Kate Kelly, Kate Kelly
AbAb  Bb majorBb
I'm going to sing you to sleep

So you just keep on drinking
        Bb majorBb
And you try to forget

How they strung up Joe Byrne from the jailhouse door
Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb   Cm...
  Like a marionette
