[F#] [B] [F#]
[F#] [B] [F#m]
[B] [F#] Listen [A] for a moment, [Bm] let and hear me tell [F#m] my tale
[D] A war is [A] in from the east, not sure [Bm] how I was condemned [F#m] to sail
[D] The jury [A] says he's guilty, said [Bm] her and messed the [F#m] judge's CD
[Bm] The legend of [F#m] the sun and you [Bm]
across [A] the [F#m] stormy sea
And take my [A] tip before you ship [Bm] to join the [F#m] Irish gang
[D] Don't be too [A] gay, if but need [Bm] be, or else you'll [F#m] jory hang
[D] Or else you'll [A] jory hang, see, [Bm] and never love [F#] Jim Jones
[B]
[E] I upon [F#m] the gallant [B] trees across [A] the [F#m] big, cured wall
You'll have no chance [A] to be shipped, [Bm] yet remember [F#m] what I say
[D] The flow of the [A] boat, she'd hauled a [Bm] view down there [F#m] upon the bay
[D] The waves were [A] high upon the sea, [B] the wind [F#] uproached the gates
I'd [Bm] rather [F#m] drown in misery [Bm] than run [A] to you, [F#] so please
The waves [B] [F#m]
were high [A]
upon the sea [Bm] when pirates [F#] came along
[D] The soldiers [A] owned a convict ship, [Bm] with five [F#]
offers wrong
[F#m] [D] They opened [A] fire and somehow [Bm] drove that pirate [F#] ship away
[B]
I'd rather drown [F#m] the pirate [B] ship than go on [E] in [F#] Buckney Bay
[F#m] And one dark [A] night when everything [Bm] is quiet [F#m] in town
[D] I'll be [A] backstreet one by [B] one, I'll calm the plumbers [F#m] down
[D] I'll keep a [A] low and lead a shop, [Bm] remember [F#m] what I say
They'll [B] [Bm] get [F#m] regrets of selling Jim [B] Jones in [E] chains to [F#m] Buckney Bay
Now day and [A] night the Irish [Bm] gang have brought the [F#m] gallant slaves
[D] They too, they too, [A] and when we die [Bm] we'll spill this [F#m] honor's grace
[D] And by and [A] by I'll break my [Bm] chains and to the [F#] bush I'll go
And [B] you'll be [F#m] dead behind me, Jones, [B]
when I get [E] to [A] Mexico
[F#m]
