[Verse 1]
   G                            Am              Em
Oh listen for a moment lads and hear me tell my tale
    C                 G                 Am               Em
How o'er the sea from England's shore I was condemned to sail
     C            G               Am                 Em
The jury found me guilty sir and then the judge said he
    Am                 Em           Am               Em
For life Jim Jones I sentence you across the stormy sea
 
[Verse 2]
    G                              Am            Em
    take my tip before you ship to join the iron gang
      C             G             Am                 Em
Don't be too gay at Botany Bay or else you'll surely hang
   C                  G                Am             Em
Or else you'll surely hang says he and after that Jim Jones
     Am            Em               Am                   Em
     high upon the gallows tree the crows will pick your bones
 
[Verse 3]
       G                                   Am             Em
You'll have no chance for mischief there remember what I say
        C                 G              Am              Em
They'll flog the poaching out of you out there at Botany Bay
    C                 G              Am              Em
The waves were high upon the sea the wind approaching gales
    Am                    Em              Am             Em
I'd rather drowned in misery than come to New South Wales
 
[Verse 4]
    G                                     Am              Em
The winds were high upon the sea when the pirates came along
       C                G                 Am                Em
But the soldiers on our convict ship were full five hundred strong
     C               G                  Am           Em
They opened fire and somehow drove that pirate ship away
    Am                 Em               Am              Em
I'd rather joined that pirate ship than gone to Botany Bay
 
[Verse 5]
    G                                 Am               Em
For night and day the irons clang and like poor galley slaves
   C                  G                Am               Em
We toil and toil and when we die must fill dishonored graves
   C                   G                Am              Em
But bye and bye I'll break my chains into the bush I'll go
    Am                 Em                Am          Em
And join the bold bushrangers there Jack Donahoo and Co
 
[Verse 6]
    G                                  Am              Em
And some dark night when everything is silent in this town
    C                  G              Am                Em
I'll kill the tyrants one by one and shoot the floggers down
    C               G               Am             Em
I'll give the law a little shock remember what I say
       Am                Em                Am             Em
They'll yet regret they sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay
 
[alternative verses 5 and 6]
 
G                              Am            Em
And one dark night when everything is quiet in the town,
      C             G              Am                 Em
I'll kill you bastards one and all, I'll gun the floggers down.
   C                  G                  Am              Em
I'll give them all a little shock, remember what I say
     Am          Em                 Am                   Em
They'll yet regret they sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay.
 
G                              Am            Em
Now day and night in irons clad we like poor galley slaves
      C             G              Am                 Em
Toil and toil and when we die must fill dishonored graves
   C                  G                  Am              Em
By and by I'll break m' chains and to the bush I'll go
     Am          Em                 Am                   Em
And you'll be dead behind me, John, when I get to Mexico.
