_ Early in the morning with the chills still in the air, we sailed from Plymouth Harbor
north, a wistfully blowing bay.
Rain was tumbling all around in buckets from the sky, and the wind had stole our breath
away, sharp as a razor knife.
On a voyage to the end of the world on George's prison ship, two hundred lost and hungry souls
would feel a lashing grip.
A gale had howled all through the rigging on that first black night, it was like the
devil himself [Cm] up there singing this lullaby.
[Bb] I'm going down, _ down, [F] down, [C] Van Diemen's Land. _ _ _
I'm [F] going down, down, [Eb] _
[C] Van Diemen's Land. _ _ _
_ Thirty days out at sea and the wind it blew too calm, so the marxists ran the quarter
deck to the beat [Cm] of a moanful.
Oh, [C] oh, oh, always may have mercy [Cm] on my soul, [G] who ever thought [C] I'd end up here some godforsaken hole?
[Bb] I'm going down, _ down, [F] down, [Cm] Van Diemen's Land.

[Bb] I'm going down, down, [Eb] _
[C] Van Diemen's Land. _ _ _

_ [C] Late at night the ship at sea is rocking like a cradle, drifting with my haunted dreams,
the dice is on the table.
[Eb] Then the wind it starts its blowing, conjuring up the waves, [F] and I tell myself when it comes
its fortune, labor [C] is a brave. _ _ _ _

[C] We sailed around the southwest cape and up the Derwins mouth, and on towards Hobart town
the rumors were about.
We heard the [C] Chinese whispers of Horde, Arthur, and Dredd's rack.
If I get myself out of here, I ain't never coming back.
[Bb] I'm going down, _ down, [C] down, Van Diemen's Land. _ _ _
[Bb] I'm going down, heaven, _ [C] Van Diemen's Land. _ _ _
