1st traste
[Chorus]
Am G Am
I am a bold bush ranger, Ned Kelly is my name
Am C G
My band is known and feared, across the great Australian Plain
G C Am C Em Am
From Adelaide to Darwin, and from Perth to Port Brisbane
 
[Verse 1]
Am G Am
Along the Murray-Darling river, up to North Queensland
Am C G
I've robbed the bloody rich man, with my armur plated band
G C Am C Em Am
And the evening whispers Kelly, across the West Australian Sand
 
[Verse 2]
Am G Am
There's many a lousy trooper, who would like to see me swing
Am C G
But the bushmen chant my praises, out along by Alice Springs
G C Am C Em Am
And the 'roo will be my watchdog, while the Kookie loudly sings
 
[Chorus]
Am G Am
I am a bold bush ranger, Ned Kelly is my name
Am C G
My band is known and feared, across the great Australian Plain
G C Am C Em Am
From Adelaide to Darwin, and from Perth to Port Brisbane
 
[Verse 3]
Am G Am
But now my days are numberred, and the law is on my tail
Am C G
Fitzpatrik's bullets whistle, round my head like driving hail
G C Am C Em Am
And I know I must be taken, to be hanged in Melbourne jail
