[INTRO]
[Em]

[VERSE 1]
Oh [G]listen for a moment lads and [Am]hear me tell my [Em]tale
How [C]o'er the sea from [G]England's shore I [Am]was compelled to [Em]sail
The j[C]ury says he [G]guilty sir and the [Am]hanging judge says [Em]he
For [Am]life Jim Jones I'm [Em]sending you a[Am]cross the stormy [Em]sea

[VERSE 2]
And [G]take my tip before you ship to [Am]join the iron [Em]gang
Don't [C]be too gay at [G]Botany Bay or [Am]else you'll surely [Em]hang
Or [C]else you'll surely [G]hang he says and [Am]after that Jim [Em]Jones
It's [Am]high upon the [Em]gallows tree the [Am]crows will pick your [Em]bones

[VERSE 3]
You'll [G]have no chance for mischief there re[Am]member what I s[Em]ay
They'll [C]flog the poaching [G]out of you out [Am]there at Botany [Em]Bay
The [C]waves were high up[G]on the sea the [Am]wind blew up in [Em]gales
I'd [Am]rather have drowned in[Em] misery than com[Am]e to New South [Em]Wales

[VERSE 4]
The [G]winds blew high upon the sea and the [Am]pirates came alo[Em]ng
But the[C] soldiers on our [G]convict ship were [Am]full five hundred [Em]strong
They [C]opened fire and [G]somehow drove that [Am]pirate ship a[Em]way
I'd [Am]rather joined that [Em]pirate ship than [Am]come to Botany B[Em]ay

[VERSE 5]
For [G]night and day the irons clang and [Am]like poor galley [Em]slaves
We [C]toil and toil and w[G]hen we die must f[Am]ill dishonored gr[Em]aves
But[C] bye and bye I'll br[G]eak my chains int[Am]o the bush I'll [Em]go
And [Am]join the bold bushr[Em]angers there Jack [Am]Donahoo and [Em]Co

[VERSE 6]
And [G]some dark night when everything is [Am]silent in this t[Em]own
I'll[C] kill the tyrants o[G]ne by one and s[Am]hoot the floggers [Em]down
I'll[C] give the law a [G]little shock rem[Am]ember what I sa[Em]y
They'll[Am] yet regret they s[Em]ent Jim Jones in c[Am]hains to Botany[Em] Bay
