Ned Kelly Chords by Derek Warfield, The Young Wolfe Tones

[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
Oh Paddy dear, oh did you hear the [A] news that's gone around?
[G] On the head of [D] Donatelli they have placed two thousand pounds
And on Steve Harcho Gord and Dan [A] two thousand more they [G] give
But if the price was [D] double by as the Kelly gang would live
[G] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ It's hard to think such lucky hearts in [A] crime should be implied
[G] By police [D] persecution they have all been much annoyed
Revenge is sweet and in the bush [A] they can defy the law
[G] Such digging up [D] and plundering the likes you never saw
Revenge is sweet and in the bush they [A] can defy the law
[G] Such digging [Bm] up and [D] plundering the likes you never saw
It was in November 78 [A] when the Kelly gang came down
[G] Just after [D] shooting Kennedy in famed Pirroetown
Bloodhorses they were all upon [A] the vulvars in the hand
[G] They took the [D] township by surprise and gold was their demand
[G]
Ned [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
Kelly walked into the bank a [A] cheque all in his hand
[G] To have a change [D] for money now of Scotty did demand
And when that he refused him [A] he looking at him straight
[G] Said he, me name's [D] Ned Kelly and this here man's me mate
And when that he refused him he [A] looking at him straight
[G] Said he, me [D] name's Ned Kelly and this here man's me mate _
The safe was quickly gutted [A] then the drawers turned out as well
[G] The Kellys [D] being quite polite like any noble swell
With flimsy's gold and silver coin [A] and three pennies on all
[G]
Amounting [D] to two thousand pounds made a glorious haul
Now hand out all your firearms Ned [A] Kelly boldly said
[G] And all your [D] ammunition boys are a bullet to your head
Now jump into the boogie and [A] we'll take you for a [G] drive
Your wife and family [D] too must come so make them look alive
Now jump into the boogie and we'll [A] take you for a drive
[G] Your wife and [D] family too must come so make them look alive _
An Indian hogger fell in too [A] as everybody knows
[G] He came in [D] handy to the gang by feeding them with clothes
Then with their worn out clothing [A] they made a few bonfires
[G] And then [D] destroyed the telegraph by putting down the wires
[G] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ Throughout this whole affair me boys they [A] never fired a shot
[G] The way they walked [D] was splendid and shall never be forgot
Now where they've gone is a mystery [A] and the troopers cannot tell
[G] Until I hear [D] from them again I bid you all farewell
Now where they've gone is a mystery and the [A] troopers cannot tell
[G] Until I [D] hear from them again I bid you all farewell _
Oh Paddy dear do shed a tear [A] but I can sympathise
[G] Those Kellys [D] aren't the devils for they made another rise
This time across in [A] Billabong where Morgan had his beat
[G] They robbed the [D] banks of thousands and in safety did retreat
The matter may be serious [A] but still I can't but laugh
[G] It painted tales [D] that Bobbies told most all the Mounted Chow
They said they had them all hemmed in [A] they could not get away
[G] But they turned up in [D] the use out Wales and made their journey pay
They said they had them all hemmed in they [A] could not get away
[G] But they turned [D] up in the use out Wales and made their journey pay _
The next day being Sunday morn [A] of course they must be good
[G] They dressed themselves [D] in troopers clothes and Ned he chopped some wood
No one there suspected them as [A] troopers they did pass
[G] And then the [D] most religious one took the sergeant's wife to mass
They spent the day most pleasantly [A] had plenty of good cheer
[G] Fried beef steak [D] and onions and some adder sauce and beer
The ladies in attendance [A] indulged in pleasant talk
[G] And just to ease [D] the troopers minds they took them for a walk
The ladies in attendance [A] indulged in pleasant talk
[G] And just to [D] ease the troopers minds they took them for a walk _
The farce was here repeated [A] as they've already told
[G] They bailed up all [D] the bankers clerks and robbed them of their gold
The manager could not be found [A] until he in great wrath
[G] Searched high and [D] low and luckily he found them in the bath
The robbery o'er they mounted [A] then and made a quick retreat
[G] And swept away [D] with all their loot by Morgan's ancient feet
So where they've gone I do not know [A] if I did I wouldn't tell
[G] So now until [D] I hear from them I bid you all farewell
And where they've gone I do not know if I [A] did I wouldn't tell
[G] So now until [D] I hear from them I bid you all farewell
