So you just keep on drinking
Bb
And you try to forget
Cm Bb
How they strung up Joe Byrne from the gaolhouse door
Eb Bb
Like a marionette
Cm
He was dead for two days
Bb
and I'll tell you no lies
Cm Bb
With the press still around him, making their money
Eb G
Shooting postcards of him through the flies
Cm Eb
Close your eyes, Kate
Dm G
and I'll sing you to sleep
Cm Eb
Close your eyes, Kate
Dm G
Your dreams will be sweet
Cm F
Kate Kelly, Kate Kelly
Ab Bb
I'm going to sing you to sleep
Cm
Ned rose up from the mist
Bb
A man made of iron
Cm Bb
Fighting his way to the smouldering inn
Eb Bb
Where Joe, and his brother, were dying
Cm
They had to shoot out his legs, Kate
Bb
But if you could sleep
Cm Bb
You could forget that they cut off his head
Eb G
For the warden's own paperweight
Cm Eb
Close your eyes, Kate
Dm G
and I'll sing you to sleep
Cm Eb
Close your eyes, Kate
Dm G
Your dreams will be sweet
Ab Eb
Don't wait around here
Dm G
May your soul rest in peace
Cm F
Kate Kelly, Kate Kelly
Ab Bb
I'm going to sing you to sleep
Cm
And now you do horse tricks
Bb
In a wild west show
Cm Bb
Sharpshooting Kate, the last of the Kellys
Eb Bb
Now the queen of the rodeo
Cm
Was Joe your lover?
Bb
Did he send you some word?
Cm Bb
A friend to your brothers all the way to the end
Eb G
Where as brothers-in-arms they would fall
Cm Eb
Close your eyes, Kate
Dm G
and I'll sing you to sleep
Cm Eb
Close your eyes, Kate
Dm G
Your dreams will be sweet
Cm F
Kate Kelly, Kate Kelly
Ab Bb
I'm going to sing you to sleep
