Capo 2. [Intro] D [Verse 1]
Dsus4Come and Dlisten Dsus4for a Dmoment, lads, And hear me tell my Gtale. How aDcross the sea from AEngland I Gwas condemned to Asail. Now the Djury founDsus4d me Dguilty, Then says the judge, says Ghe, "Oh, for Dlife, Jim Jones, I'm Asending you AGcross the stormy DseaDsus4. But Gtake a tip before you ship To Djoin the Dsus4iron gDang. Don't Gget too gay in Botany Bay, Or Delse you'll Dsus4surelyD Ahang. Or Delse you'll sureDsus4ly Dhang," says he. "And after that, Jim GJones, It's high Dup upon the Agallows tree The Gcrows will pick your Dbones."
[Verse 2]
Dsus4Well our Dship waDsus4s highD upon the sea when pirates came alGong, But tDhe soldiers on our Aconvict ship WeGre full five hundAred strong. For theyD opened fDsus4ire anDd somehow drove That pirate ship away. G But I'd rDather have joined thaAt pirate ship GThan gone to BotaDny Dsus4Bay. WithG the storms ragin' round us, AndD the windDsus4s a-blDowin' gales, I'd raGther have drowned in misery ThaDn gone to NeDsus4w SoutDh AWales. TheDre's no time forDsus4 mischDief there, they say remember that says thGey oh they'llD flog the poAaching out of you downG there in Botany Bay D
[Verse 3]
Dsus4Now it's Dday andDsus4 nightD and the irons clang, And like poor galleyG slaves We toDil and toil, and whAen we die MuGst fill dishonoreAd graves, And it'sD by and bDsus4y I'llD slip my chains, Well, into the bush I'll gGo And I'll Djoin the brave bush rAangers there, GJack Donohue and Dco.Dsus4 And Gsome dark night, when everything Is Dsilent inDsus4 the tDown I'll sGhoot those tyrants one and all, I'lDl gun the flDsus4ogger DdoAwn.
Oh,D I'll give the lDsus4and a Dlittle shock, Remember what I say, G And they'lDl yet regretA they've sent Jim Jones In cGhains to Botany Bay. D
