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] 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.

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.

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.
