------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Jones at Botany Bay -- "The Hateful Eight" version ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: FeynmansZombie Tuning: half-step down This is the version of the song played by Daisy (Jennifer Jason Leigh) in Tarantino's movie "The Hateful Eight." Probably the best scene of the movie. As far as I can tell, it's an original arrangement - I tabbed it by ear by listening to the soundtrack. This version is more similar to "Skibbereen" than it is to other versions of "Jim Jones at Botany Bay." The lyrics are also different in some places (especially the last line). It's all four chords - stick to them and you can make up your own flourishes if you like. I won't pretend to know every note and nuance, but this was basically a live performance so it wouldn't do to be too scripted. For instance, you could play G with the B string open or 3, or switch it up as you please.

^GTake my tip before you ship to ^Amjoin the iron ^Emgang, Don't ^Cbe too gay in ^GBotany Bay, or ^Amelse you'll surely ^Emhang. Or ^Celse you'll surely ^Ghang, said he, and ^Amafter that, Jim ^EmJones, High ^Amup upon the ^Emgallows tree, the c^Amrows will pick your b^Emones.

^GThere's no chance for mischief ^Amthere, remembe^Emr that, they say They'l^Cl flog the poa^Gching out of yo^Amu down there in Bot^Emany Bay. Wav^Ces were high upon t^Ghe sea, the winds a^Ampproaching gales^Em I'd r^Amather drowne^Emd in misery than go^Amne to New South Wales^Em.

^GThe waves were high upon the se^Amas when pirate^Ems came along, But th^Ce soldiers on ^Gour convict shi^Amp were full five hu^Emndred strong. The^Cy opened fire and s^Gomehow drove that p^Amirate ship away ^Em I'd r^Amather joined^Em that pirate ship t^Amhan gone to Botany Ba^Emy.

^GAnd one dark night when everyth^Aming is quiet i^Emn the town, I'll k^Cill you bastar^Gds one and all,^Am I'll gun the flogg^Emers down. I'l^Cl give them all a l^Gittle shock, rememb^Amer what I say ^Em They'^Amll yet regre^Emt they sent Jim Jon^Ames in chains to Botan^Emy Bay.

^GNow day and night in irons clad^Am we like poor ^Emgalley slaves Toil a^Cnd toil and wh^Gen we die must ^Amfill dishonored gra^Emves By ^Cand by I'll break m^G' chains and to the^Am bush I'll go ^Em And y^Amou'll be dea^Emd behind me, John, ^Amwhen I get to Mexico.^Em
