Lyrics

[Intro]
B F# C#
F# Badd9
F#            F#
  Hold me now,

[Verse 1]
Badd9              F# Badd9
     Oh hold me now
F# F#   F#sus2/F D#m
   'Til this     hour
B               C#
 Has gone around
        A#m
And I'm gone
              D#m
On the rising tide
B           F# C#
 For to face
            F#    Badd9
Van Diemen's  land
F#                  F#
  It's a bitter pill

[Verse 2]
Badd9              F# Badd9
     I swallow here
F# F# F#sus2/F D#m B           C#
   To be       rent from one so  dear
              A#m
We fought for justice
            D#m
And not for gain
B                  F# C#
 But the magistrate
         F# Badd9
Sent me away
F#               F#
  Now kings will rule

[Verse 3]
Badd9                  F#  Badd9
     And the poor will toil
F#    F#   F#sus2/F D#m
  And tear their    hands
B                 C#
 As they tear the soil
               A#m
But a day will come
                D#m
In this dawning age
B                  F# C#
 When an honest man
                   F# Badd9
Sees an honest wage
F#            F#
  Hold me now,

[Verse 4]
Badd9              F# Badd9
     Oh hold me now
F# F#   F#sus2/F D#m
   'Til this     hour
B               C#
 Has gone around
        A#m
And I'm gone
              D#m
On the rising tide
B           F# C#
 For to face
            F#    Badd9
Van Diemen's  land
