Oh listen for a moment lads

-7 -6 +6 +5 -4 +5
and hear me tell my tale

How o'er the sea from England's shore

+8 +7 +7 -7 -6 -7
I was compelled to sail

The jury says he guilty sir

+8 +7 +7 -7 -6 +8
and the hanging judge says he

-7 -6 +6 -6 -7 +8 -8 -7
For life Jim Jones I'm sending you

+6 -6 +6 +5 -4 +5
across the stormy sea
