[INTRO]
[C] [F] [C] [F]

[VERSE 1]
[C]Hey Nelly, Nelly, come to the window
Hey Nelly, Nelly, [F]look to the [G]what I [A]see
He's [D]ridin' into [Am]town on a [D]sway-back [Am]mule
He's got a [D]tall black [Am]hat and he [D]looks like a [Am]fool
He [Dm]sure is [Em]talkin' like he's [F]been to [G]school
And it's [Am]Eighteen [Em]Fifty-[D]Three [Am] [D] [Am]

[VERSE 2]
[C]Hey Nelly, Nelly, listen what he's sayin'
Hey Nelly, Nelly, he [F]says it's [G]gettin' [A]late
And he [D]says them [Am]black folks [D]should be [Am]free
To [D]walk a[Am]round the [D]same as you and [Am]me
He's [Dm]talkin' a[Em]bout a thing he [F]calls democra[G]cy
And it's [Am]Eighteen [Em]Fifty-[D]Eight [Am] [D] [Am]

[VERSE 3]
[C]Hey Nelly, Nelly, hear the band a-playing
Hey Nelly, Nelly, [F]hand me [G]down my [A]gun
For the [D]men are [Am]cheerin' and the [D]boys are [Am]too
They're [D]all puttin' [Am]on their [D]coats of [Am]blue
I [Dm]can't sit a[Em]round here and [F]talk to [G]you
And it's [Am]Eighteen [Em]Sixty-[D]One [Am] [D] [Am]

[VERSE 4]
[C]Hey Nelly, Nelly, come to the window
Hey Nelly, Nelly, [F]I've come [G]home a[A]live
My [D]coat of [Am]blue is [D]stained with [Am]red
And the [D]man in the [Am]tall black [D]hat is [Am]dead
But we [Dm]sure will r[Em]emember all the [F]things he [G]said
In [Am]Eighteen [Em]Sixty-[D]Five [Am] [D] [Am]

[VERSE 5]
[C]Hey Nelly, Nelly, come to the window
Hey Nelly, Nelly, [F]look at [G]what I [A]see
I see [D]white folks and [Am]coloured [D]walkin' side by [Am]side
They're [D]walking in a [Am]column that's a [D]century [Am]wide
It was a [Dm]long and a [Em]hard and a [F]bloody [G]ride
In [Am]Nineteen [Em]Sixty-[D]Three [Am] [D] [A]
