[F]
[D]
[A] [D]
Ned Kelly came [G] round to see [D] me today I guess I was [Bm] dreaming, [A] oh
[D] Dumbfounded I [G] couldn't think [D] what to say, [A] oh
[D]
[G] I beckoned him in, [D] but he shook his head [A] He said I'm a bit grubby and a bit [D] poorly bred
[G] I'd rather be yarned [D] out the back in the shed [A] I can leave my boots on [D] that way
[G] [D]
[A] [D]
Well he took a stiff whiskey and [G] laid [D] down his gun
He said I won't keep you long, cos [A] I've got to run
[D] Got to ride to the mountains before night is done, [A] oh
[D] He [G] said words got around [D] about the music you play
[A] You truly believe in the fair [D] dinkum way
[G] That the bush must remain for [D] our spirit to stay
And [A] we must have a [D] flag of our own
[G] [D]
[A] [D] He said I learned long ago when I was still young
Like the lizard [G] that spits and [D] sticks out [A] his [D] tongue
Oh the way to get shot is to carry a gun, [A] oh
[D]
[G] There's a new world order, [D] the leaders all shout
[A] And everyone's frantic, they're [D] gonna miss out
[G] And the red, white and blues are [D] still marching about
Oh [A] we must have a [D] flag of our own
[G] [A]
[D] [G] [D]
[A] [D]
[G] Cos this is Australia [D] and that's where we're from
[A] We're not Yankee sidekicks or second [D] class poms
[G] And tell the frogs what they [D] can do with their bomb
[A] And we must have a flag [D] of our own
[G] Yeah this is Australia [D] and that's where we're from
[A] We're not Yankee sidekicks or second [D] class poms
[G] And tell the frogs what they [D] can do with their bomb
[A] And we must have a flag [D] of our own
