G 
He robbed the wealthy  (G major) squatters
A 
D 
and their  (A major) flocks he did des (D major) troy
G 
And the terror to the  (G major) rich man
A 
D 
was the  (A major) wild colonial  (D major) boy
A 
D 
 (A major) Hey! Now early one spring morn (D major) ing
A 
D 
as  (A major) Jack Doogan rode  (D major) along
Em 
A -listening to  (E minor) the little birds,
A 
D 
A 
their  (A major) happy, warbling  (D major) song  (A major) 
D 
Do  (D major) you like the little birdie
bit there?
A 
I'll do it again  (A major) 
D 
He met three  (D major) mounted troopers,
Kelly, Davis and Fitzroy
And they swore that they
G 
Em 
would  (G major) capture  (E minor) him,
A 
D 
the  (A major) wild  (D major) colonial boy

Now it's the troopers talking,
rough types
D 
Sur (D major) render now Jack Dugan,
for your sea is three to one
Surrender now, Jack Dugan,
A 
G 
for your thieving  (A major) days are done.  (G major) 
D 
A 
 (D major) He whipped the  (A major) pistol from his belt
D 
and he  (D major) shook that little toy.
I'll fight, but I won't surrender.
Shouts the wild colonial boy.
A 
D 
 (A major) So he fired at Trooper  (D major) Kelly.
And he brought him to the ground.
But then a shot from Davis
A 
gave the boy his  (A major) mortal wound
D 
 (D major) That's to rhyme with ground
A 
in the  (A major) previous line
D 
Em 
All  (D major) shattered through the  (E minor) jaw he fell,
A 
D 
still firing  (A major) at  (D major) Fitzroy
Em 
And that's the way they finished  (E minor) him,
A 
D 
 (A major) the Wild Colobo  (D major) 
A 
D 
G 
So  (A major) come  (D major) along me  (G major) hearties,

to (A major) gether we will  (D major) die
G 
We'll wander over  (G major) valleys,

For we scorn to live in  (G major) slavery,
A 
D 
A

bound  (A major) down by iron  (D major) chains  (A major)  (D major)
