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

Ab        Bb 
I'm gonna sing you to sleep 
     Cm          Fm 
Kate Kelly, Kate Kelly 
Ab        Bb          Cm 
I'm gonna sing you to sleep 
 
 
Just keep on drinking 
           Bb 
you try to forget 
G                  Cm 
How they strung up Joe Byrne 
                 Bb 
to the jailhouse door 
Eb          G 
Like a marionette
