C               G               C
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
