[F#] [C#] [F#] There was a wild, [B] colonial boy [C#] Jack Doolin was [F#] his name
Of poor but [B] honest parents [C#] he was born near [F#] Castle Main
[B] He was his [F#] father's only son [B] and his mother's [C#] pride and joy
So [B]
dearly [F#] did his parents [C#] love their wild, [F#] colonial boy
Barely [B] sixteen years of age [C#] he first began [F#] to roam
And found [B] Australia's sunny shores [C#] and called it his true [F#]
home
[B] He robbed the [F#] wealthy squatters their [B] assets [C#] to destroy
[B] A chariot to [F#] the rich ones was [C#] the wild, [F#] colonial boy
Back in [B] 1861 [C#] began his wild [F#] career
With a head that knew no [B] danger and [C#] a heart that held [F#] no fear
[B] He held a [F#] mudgy mail coach up [B] and he shot Judge [C#] McAvoy
[B] A curse to [F#] every copper was [C#] the wild, colonial [F#] boy
[B]
[F#] [G#m] [C#]
[F#] [G#]
Later on [C#] that very day [D#] his jacket [G#] rolled along
Listening to [C#] the [D#] Kookaburras pleasant [G#] laughing song
[C#] He spied three [G#] mounted troopers [C#] Kelly Davis and [D#] Fitzroy
[C#] With a war in [G#] [D#] the wild, [C#] [G#] colonial boy Surrender now [C#] Jack Doolin
For [D#] you see we're [G#] three to one Surrender [C#] now in the Queen's high name
Or [D#] your living [F] days [G#] are done [C#] Jack drew two [G#] pistols from his belt
[C#] And he waved them proud [D#] and hard [C#]
[G#] Surrender now [D#] [F] Jack Doolin
For you [G#] see we're three to one Surrender now in the Queen's high name
Jack fired once [C#] at Kelly [D#] Brought him to [G#] the ground
Then turning round [C#] from Davis' gun [D#] Received his [G#] mortal wound
[C#] A bullet pierced [G#] his proud young [C#] heart From the pistol of [D#] Fitzroy
[C#] And that's the way they [G#] captured him [D#] The wild, [G#] colonial boy
[C#] Yes that's the way [G#] they captured him [D#] The wild, [G#] colonial boy
