Chords for Poor Ned - John Schumann & Hugh McDonald

We pissed off because we weren't invited to sing at that occasion.
If we had, we would have done this one, which is an old Red Gum song.
I was in the [Am] National Museum in Canberra not [A] so long ago,
_ and I [Em] came across [Ebm] Ned [N] Kelly's death mask.
Have you ever seen it?
He looks all the world like Campbell Newman. _
_ _ We should acknowledge the Healesville musical fraternity who are here.
I'd like to acknowledge them because I've produced their records, and it's good for business.
But [G] because you're here, and this is a sing-along, can you guys lift your game? _
Otherwise, no harmonies, no free harmonies on your next record.
One, _ _ _ two, three, four, poor Ned, [D] you're better off [A] dead.
At least you'll get some peace of [G] mind.
You're out on the [D] track, right on [Em] your back, but we're gonna hang you [B] high.
_ [G] _ _ [D] _
[Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ Well, [D] 1878 was [C] a year I remember [G] so well.
My father [D] had an early grave, [C] like my mother [G] and child.
Now I don't know [D] what's right or wrong, [C] but they hung Christ [G] on a hill.
Six kids at [D] home and two still on the [C] grass, they wouldn't even [G] give a bow.
And we sing, oh [D] Ned, you're better off [C] dead.
At least you'll get some [G] peace of mind.
You're out on the [D] track, right on your [C] back, but we're gonna [G] hang you high.
Well, you know I was a [D] little house tricky, but I'm [C] pretty good, and [G] I'm not a fool.
_ And I might [D] be a [C] bushcrafter, but I'm not a perfect [G] man.
And I [D] might be a kiddie, [C] but I'm a clever, [G] naughty lad.
He [D] alone could save his life, [C] by putting [G] down his guns.
And we sing, oh [D] Ned, you're better off [C] dead.
At least you'll get some [G] peace of mind.
You're out on the [D] track, right on your [C] back, but we're gonna [G] hang you high.
_ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[Dm] _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ Well, you know that angel, [D] Pinchelly, [C] and they hung him in the [G] Melkgyl.
And he fought so [D] very [C] bravely, dressed in iron [G] mail.
And a man [D] single-handed [C] can fight to break [G] the bars.
It's a [D] thousand like Pinchelly, [C] who was the baddest of [G] us.
And we sing, oh [D] Ned, you're better off [C] dead.
At least you'll get some [G] peace of mind.
You're out on the [D] track, right on your [C] back, but we're gonna [G] hang you high.
Oh [D] Ned, you're better off [Cm] dead.
At least you'll get some [G] peace of mind.
You're out on the [F] track, right on your [Em] back, but we're gonna [Ab] hang [G] you high. _ _
