Verse:

D                     G       D
Ned Kelly came round to see me today,
D                         G   A
I guess I was dreaming  oh oo oh
D                     G             D         G       A     D
Dumbfounded I couldn't think what to say     Oh oh oh oh oh oh
G                             D
I beckoned him in, but he shook his head
             A                            D
He said "I'm a bit grubby and a bit poorly bred
      G                               D
I'd rather we yarned out the back in the shed
    A                       D
I can leave m' boots on that way

Verse:

D                               G              D
Well, he took a stiff whisky and laid down his gun
D                                           G     A
He said "I won't keep you long, cause I've got to run
    D                    G                 D              G       A       D
Got to ride to the mountains before night is done         Oh oh oh oh oh o
          G                                    D
He said "word's got around 'bout the music you play
       A                       D
You truly believe in the fair dinkum way
              G                               D
That the bush must remain for our spirit to stay
            A                  D
And we must have a flag of our own

Verse:

   D                            G           D
He said "I learned long ago when I was still young
                  G              D
Like the lizard that spits and sticks out his tongue
  D                   G           D                      G      A      D
Oh the way to get shot is to carry a gun                 Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Chorus:

           G                              D
"There's a new world order!", the leaders all shout
      A                                 D
And everyone's frantic they're gonna miss out
       G                                         D
And the red, white and blues are still marching about
         A                    D
Oh we must have a flag of our own

Chorus:

          G                           D
Cause this is Australia and that's where we're from
         A                               D
We're not Yankee side-kicks or second class Poms
      G                                     D
And tell the Frogs what they can do with their bomb
     A                       D
Oh we must have a flag of our own

Chorus:

          G                           D
Cause this is Australia and that's where we're from
         A                               D
We're not Yankee side-kicks or second class Poms
      G                                     D
And tell the Frogs what they can do with their bomb
     A                       D
Oh we must have a flag of our own
