Ned Kelly was a wild young bush ranger
F C G
Out of Victoria he rode with his brother Dan
F C F
He loved his people and he loved his freedom
D G
And he loved to ride the wide open land
C G C
Ned Kelly was a victim of the changes
F C G
That came when his land was a sprout and seed
F C F
And the wrongs he did were multiplied in legend
G C
With young Australia growing like a weed
[Chorus]
F C G C
Ned Kelly took the blame Ned Kelly won the fame
F C G C
Ned Kelly brought the shame And then Ned Kelly hanged
[Verse 2]
C G C
Well he hid out in the bush and in the forest
F C G
And he loved to hear the wind blow in the trees
F C F
While the men behind the badge were coming for him
D G
Ned said they'll never bring me to my knees
C G C
But everything was changed and run in cycles
F C G
And Ned knew that his day was at an end
F C F
He made a suit of armour out of ploughshares
But Ned was brought down by the trooper's men
[Chorus]
F C G C
Ned Kelly took the blame Ned Kelly won the fame
F C G C
Ned Kelly brought the shame And then Ned Kelly hanged
