Moreton Bay chords

[VERSE]
[E]One Sunday morning as I we[A]nt walking
B[E]y Brisbane Waters I chanced to st[C#m]ray [B] [E]
I[E] heard a convict his fate b[A]ewailing
As[E] on the sunny riverbank he lay

I [E]am a native of Erin's I[A]reland
Bu[E]t banished now from my native sh[C#m]ore
Th[E]ey stole me from my aged p[A]arents
And[E] from the maiden whom I do adore

I've [E]been a prisoner at Port Ma[A]cquarie
At [E]Norfolk Island and Emu Pla[Fm]ins
At C[E]astle Hill and the cursed Toong[A]abbie
At al[E]l these settlements I've been in chains

But o[E]f all places of condemna[A]tion
And[E] penal stations in New South Wal[C#m]es [B] [E]
To[E] Moreton Bay I have found no [A]equal
Exc[E]essive tyranny each day prevails

Fo[E]r three long years I was beastly tr[A]eated
And[E] heavy irons on my legs I wo[C#m]re [B] [E]
My[E] back from flogging was lacer[A]ated
An[E]d oft times painted with my crimson gore

An[E]d many a man from downright star[A]vation
Lie[E]s mouldering now underneath the cl[C#m]ay [B] [E]
An[E]d Captain Logan he had us mang[A]led
Al[E]l On the triangles of Moreton Bay

Li[E]ke the Egyptians and ancient Hebr[A]ews
We[E] were oppressed under Logan's yoke [C#m] [B] [E]
Til[E]l a native black lying there in am[A]bush
Did[E] deal this tyrant with his mortal stroke

My [E]fellow prisoners be exhilarate[A]d
Th[E]at all such monsters like death may fin[C#m]d [B] [E]
A[E]nd when from bondage we're lib[A]erated
Our[E] former suffering soon will fade from mind
