Jim Jones At Botany Bay chords by 
A. L. Lloyd
N/A•
Verse 1
Am
C
Oh listen for a moment
Dm
Am
lads an d hear me tell me tale
I o 'er the sea from England shore
C
Dm
Am
I was obliged to sail
The jury says he's guilty,
Dm
and says the judge says he
Am
For life, Jim Jones,
C
Dm
Am
I'm sending you across the stormy sea
C
And take me tip before you ship
Dm
Am
to join the iron gang
Don't be too gay at Botany Bay
Dm
Am
or else you'll surely hang
Or else you'll surely hang, he,
Dm
Bb
And after that, Jim Jones.
Dm
Am
Aye, upon the gallows tree
Dm
Am
The crows'll pick your bones.
You'll have no chance for mischief then,
Dm
Remember what I say,
Am
They'll flog the poachin' out of you
C
Dm
Am
Dm
Down there at Botany Bay.
Am
C
The wind blew high upon the sea
Dm
Am
and the pirates come along
But the soldiers in our convict ship
Dm
Am
was nigh five hundred strong
They opened fire
Dm
and somehow drove that pirate ship away
C
I'd rather join the scall 'n bones
Dm
Am
Than go to Botany Bay
C
Now night and day the irons clang
Am
Unlike poor galley slaves
C
We toil and strive and when we die
Am
Dm
Am
We fill dishonoured graves
C
But by and by I'll break me chains,
Dm
and to the bush I'll go,
Am
And join the brave bush rangers there,
C
Am
Dm
Am
like Donahoe and Co.
C
And some dark night,
Am
Dm
Am
when everything is silent in the town,
I'll kill them tyrants one by one,
Dm
Am
and shoot the floggers down
I'll give the law a little shock,
Dm
remember what I say
Am
C
They'll yet regret they sent Jim Jones
Dm
Am
in chains to botany bay
Please

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
