Primeiro acorde: A 8 acordes identificados
A ballad in the true sense of the word, a read of Peter Carey's "A True
History Of The Kelly Gang" will make the story and characters make more
sense. This is version 0.1 of the transcription, as I don't have a copy of
the album's final mix here to get the lyrics and arrangement exactly as
they'll be released; this will change at a later date. Regular gig-goers
may recognise this though - it's the "revised" version featured in Tim's
solo gigs, not the first version launched in 2001.
Intro: CmSus2 Cm CmSus2 Cm
So you just keep on drinking
And you try to forget
Cm Bb
How they strung up Joe Byrne from the gaolhouse door
Eb Bb
He was dead for two days
and I'll tell you no lies
Cm Bb
With the press still around him, making their money
Shooting postcards of him through the flies
Close your eyes, Kate
Dm G
and I'll sing you to sleep
Close your eyes, Kate
Dm G
Your dreams will be sweet
Kate Kelly, Kate Kelly
Ab Bb
I'm going to sing you to sleep
Ned rose up from the mist
A man made of iron
Cm Bb
Fighting his way to the smouldering inn
Where Joe, and his brother, were dying
They had to shoot out his legs, Kate
But if you could sleep
Cm Bb
You could forget that they cut off his head
For the warden's own paperweight
Close your eyes, Kate
Dm G
and I'll sing you to sleep
Close your eyes, Kate
Dm G
Your dreams will be sweet
Ab Eb
Don't wait around here
May your soul rest in peace
Kate Kelly, Kate Kelly
Ab Bb
I'm going to sing you to sleep
And now you do horse tricks
In a wild west show
Cm Bb
Sharpshooting Kate, the last of the Kellys
Now the queen of the rodeo
Was Joe your lover?
Did he send you some word?
Cm Bb
A friend to your brothers all the way to the end
Where as brothers-in-arms they would fall
Close your eyes, Kate
Dm G
and I'll sing you to sleep
Close your eyes, Kate
Dm G
Your dreams will be sweet
Kate Kelly, Kate Kelly
Ab Bb
I'm going to sing you to sleep
Kate Kelly, Kate Kelly
Ab Bb
I'm going to sing you to sleep
So you just keep on drinking
And you try to forget
Cm Bb
How they strung up Joe Byrne from the gaolhouse door
Eb Bb Cm...
