[F#] [C#]
[F#] [B] [F#] Hold me now, [B] oh hold [F#] me now, [B] [F#] [C#] till [D#] this [D#m] hour [B] has gone [C#] around, and [A#m] I [D#] seem [D#m] tired, [B] or to [F#] [C#] face
[F#] Van Diemen's [B] land.
[F#] It's a bitter pill [B] I [F#] swallow [B] here, [F#] [C#] to [D#m] be [B] rented from one [C#] so dear.
We fought [A#m] for justice, and that [D#m] forgave.
[B]
[F#] Magistrate, [C#] send me
[F#] away.
[B] [F#] Now kings will [B] roll, and the poor [F#] will talk, [B] [F#] and [C#] tear [D#m] their hands, [B] as they [C#] tear the sun.
But a day [A#m] will come, in this [D#] dawning [D#m] [B] age, when an [F#] honest man [C#] sees an [F#] honest [B] wage.
[F#]
Hold me now, [B]
[F#]
[C#] oh hold me now, till [D#m] this hour [B] has gone [C#] around,
[A#m] and I [D#] seem tired.
