Ned Kelly Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[VERSE 1]
[C]Ned Kelly was a [G]wild young bush [C]ranger
Out of [F]Victoria he [C]rode with his brother [G]Dan
He [F]loved his people [C]and he loved his [F]freedom
And he [D]loved to ride the wide open [G]land

[C]Ned Kelly was a [G]victim of the [C]changes
That [F]came when his [C]land was a sprout and [G]seed
And the [F]wrongs he did were [C]multiplied in [F]legend
With [G]young Australia growing like a [C]weed

[CHORUS]
Ned [F]Kelly took the [C]blame Ned [G]Kelly won the [C]fame
Ned [F]Kelly brought the [C]shame And [G]then Ned Kelly [C]hanged

[VERSE 2]
[C]Well he hid out in the [G]bush and in the [C]forest
And he [F]loved to hear the [C]wind blow in the [G]trees
While [F]the men behind the [C]badge were coming for [F]him
Ned [D]said they'll never bring me to my [G]knees

[C]But everything was [G]changed and run in [C]cycles
And [F]Ned knew that his [C]day was at an [G]end
He made [F]a suit of armour [C]out of ploughsh[F]ares
But Ned was brought down by the trooper's men

[CHORUS]
Ned [F]Kelly took the [C]blame Ned [G]Kelly won the [C]fame
Ned [F]Kelly brought the [C]shame And [G]then Ned Kelly [C]hanged
