Verse 1
(G major) He turned him out
of Beechworth Jail in (C major) 1871 (G major)
He put (D major) in three long years
behind those (G major) walls
For the stealing of a horse
he swore (C major) he'd never done (G major)
But (D major) now he sees the sun
and turns his back upon it all
Walk (C major) softly cried the magistrate
who (G major) counted up the score
Walk (C major) softly cried the turnkey
as he clanged (G major) the iron door
Walk (C major) softly cried his comrades
cringing on (G major) that prison floor
But the (D major) sun is on the meadow
And the wind is in the gum tree
And the Beechworth Jail
is many miles be (G major) hind you
In a prison ship in shackles
his (C major) father reached this (G major) land
He stole (D major) one pig
and for that crime he (G major) paid
Inside a cold dark prison cell
he (C major) died a broken man (G major)
And he (D major) left his wife to curse the crown
while his children dug his grave
Speak (C major) softly, cried the jailer
Laying slop (G major) upon his plate
Speak (C major) softly, cried the turnkey
As he (G major) opened up the gate
Speak (C major) softly, cried his mother
It's been (G major) oh, so long to wait
But the (D major) summer's on the meadow
And the wind is in the gum tree
And the beechwood jail
is many miles be (G major) hind you
(C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
They told him it was over
and his (C major) song was damn well sung (G major)
They told (D major) him while astray
it'd have to change (G major)
And he'd better watch his temper,
and he'd (C major) better mind his (G major) tongue
For the (D major) next time that he walked
inside those gates he'd surely hang
Speak (C major) boldly, cried his father,
from (G major) the grave in which he lay
Speak (C major) boldly, cried his country,
there's a (G major) trust that's been betrayed
Speak (C major) boldly, cried his conscience,
there's a (G major) debt
And it must be paid
That the (D major) sun is on the meadow
And the wind is in the gum trees
And the Pitchford jail
is many miles be (G major) hind you (C major) (G major)
(D major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(C major) (G major)
(D major) Thank you. (G major) (C major) (G major)
