[Bb] _ _ Listened for a moment, laughed, [Cm] and here did [Gm] the battle
_ [Eb] Over the [Bb] sea from England shore [Cm] I was condemned [Gm] to sail
[Eb] The jury [Bb] found me guilty, sir, [Cm] and said the judge [Gm]
said he
_ [Cm] For life, Jim [Gm] Jolson, signing you [Cm] all across the [G] story's [Gm] key _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] Now take my tip before you ship [Cm] and join the [Gm] _
Ironman
[Eb] Be too [Bb] gay at Barney Bay [Cm] or else you [Gm] surely end
[Bb] Or else you surely end, Stacy, [Cm] and after [Gm] that, Jim _ Jones
_ [Cm]
I have [Gm] performed the gallop, [Cm] treason, robbery
[F] _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] No luck, no chance for me, did they [Cm] remember [Gm] what I said
[Eb] They'd look the [Bb]
poochie not of you, [Cm] up there I'd [Gm] go any _ [Eb] day
[Bb] Waves were high upon the sea, [Cm] the winds blew [Gm] up in _ curls
_ [Cm]
I'd [Gm] rather drown in misery [Cm] than continue [G] to [Gm] sail _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] For night and day the irons clang [Cm] and life [Gm] forgets its day
[Eb] We toil and [Bb]
moan when we die, [Cm] must feel [Gm]
dishonoured pray
[Bb] The pain will slip my chest [Cm] and to the [Gm] bush I'll _ call
_ [Cm]
As on the [Gm] brave bushman's return [Cm] I've done it [Gm] before _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] And on the dark night when everything [Cm] is silent [Gm] in the town
[Eb] I get the busters [Bb] on and off, [Cm] I've done the [Gm] fathers down
_ [Eb] Give them all [Bb] a little treat, _ [Cm] remember [Gm] what I _ said
_ [Cm] They'd regret [Gm] that Sam Jim [Cm] Jolson's too [F] good [G] a [Gm] man _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _
He's dead _ _ _ _
