DmOne (xx0231@1)Sunday morning
DmWhile (xx0231@1)I was out walking
F (133211@1)By the Brisbane's waters
AmI (x02210@1)chanced to stray
DmThere (xx0231@1)I found a prisoner

Layed half in the water
FHe'd (133211@1)seen me coming
AmAnd (x02210@1)he began to say

DmI (xx0231@1)was a native of Erin's Ireland
FAnd (133211@1)before I was brought
AmTo (x02210@1)this terrible place
DmThey (xx0231@1)dragged me away
DmFrom (xx0231@1)my wife and newborn
F (133211@1)                  AmAnd (x02210@1)my ailing parents
GI've (320003@1)been a prisoner at Port Macquarie
DmNorfolk (xx0231@1)Island and Emu Plains
GAt (320003@1)Castle Hill and cursed Toongabbie
B7At (x21202@1)all of these settlements
B7I've (x21202@1)worked in chains
GBut (320003@1)of all the places of condemnation
DmAt (xx0231@1)each penal station of New South Wales
GTo (320003@1)Moreton Bay I've found no equal
B7The (x21202@1)tyranny there makes all the rest pale

repeat until forever
