Jim Jones at Botany Bay

前奏Em(6 2 5点弦 3)

G                    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 said the judge, says he
      Am                     C                  Am                    Em
For life Jim Jones I'll sentence you across the stormy sea

(和弦重复)

And take my tip before you ship to join the iron gang
Don't be too gay at Botany Bay or else you'll surely hang
Or else you'll surely hang says he and after that Jim Jones
It's high upon the gallows tree the crows will pick your bones

You'll have no chance for mischief then, remember what I say
They'll flog the poaching out of you out there at Botany Bay
Waves were high upon the sea, the wind blew up in gales
I'd rather drowned in misery than come to New South Wales

The winds blew high upon the sea when the pirates came along
But the soldiers on our convict ship were full five hundred strong
They opened fire and somehow drove that pirate ship away
I'd rather joined that pirate ship than gone to Botany Bay

And one dark night when everything is quiet in the town
I'll kill you bastards one and all, and I'll gun the floggers down
I'll give the law a little shock remember what I say
They'll yet regret they sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay

Whatever you say,John

Now day and night the irons clang and like poor galley slaves
We toil and toil, and when we die must fill dishonoured graves
But bye and bye I'll break my chains into the bush I'll go
And you'll be died behind me John when I get to Mexico
