[Intro 2]
Dm C A# C x2
[Verse 1]
Dm Dm
We left Macquarie Harbour it was in the pouring rain
Dm C
None of us quite sure if we would see England again
A# C Dm
Some fool muttered death or liberty
Dm Dm
There was six of us together a jolly hungry crew
Dm C
And as the days went by you know our hunger quickly grew
A# C Dm
Some fool muttered death or liberty
[Pre-Chorus]
A# C Dm
So that night we made a fire out of twigs and out of bark
C Dm
And our stomachs they were grumbling all through the night so dark
C
We were only trying to keep ourselves alive
C A7
But when the sun came up next morning well the six had turned to five, and I said,
[Chorus]
Dm C A# C
Right there's another one, don't you frown
Dm C A# C
Chew the meat and hold it down,
Dm C A# C
It's a tale they won't believe...
C
When I get down to Hobart town
[Interlude]
Dm C A# C x2
[Verse 2]
Dm Dm
All five of us were nervous and I'll tell you that's a fact
Dm C
But you should have seen the bastard who was carrying the axe
A# C Dm
He was a sick man he had murder in his heart
Dm Dm
And then we reached the Franklin River, and it took two days to cross
Dm C
We were wet and almost starvin' and for food were at a loss
A# C Dm
We were hungry men with murder on our minds
[Pre-Chorus]
A# C Dm
So that night we made a fire out of twigs and out of bark
C Dm
And our stomachs they were rumbling all through the night so dark
C Dm
And they were making noises the dead could not ignore
C
And when the sun came up next morning
A7
The five had turned to four! And I said,
[Chorus]
Dm C A# C
Right there's another one, don't you frown
Dm C A# C
Chew the meat and hold it down,
Dm C A# C
It's a tale they won't believe...
C
When I get down to Hobart town
[Interlude]
Dm C A# C x2
[Verse 3]
Dm Dm
Well the four of us kept marching to a place called Western Tiers
Dm C
A country full of tasty game but for us it held no cheer
A# C Dm
We had no guns we were traveling without hope
Dm Dm
But the axe it loomed so ominous and God's hand was at play
Dm C
A sick man is a type of game which can not run away
A# C Dm
So stay easy, my poor man, your time's at hand
[Pre-Chorus]
A# C Dm
So that night we made a fire out of twigs and out of bark
C Dm
And our stomachs they were rumbling all through the night so dark
C Dm
I can't say I feel guilty, after all it wasn't me
C A7
But when the sun came up next morning the four had turned to three! And I said,
[Chorus]
Dm C A# C
Right there's another one, don't you frown
Dm C A# C
Chew the meat and hold it down,
Dm C A# C
It's a tale they won't believe...
C
When I get down to Hobart town!
[Interlude]
Dm C A# C x2
[Verse 4]
Dm Dm
Well the three of us kept moving but one was fading fast
Dm C
He had been bitten by a snake and you could see he would not last
A# C Dm
Stay easy my good man your time's at hand
Dm Dm
And when he could last no longer his days were fading fast
Dm C
We were far to weak to carry him subsistency comes first
A# C Dm
Stay easy my good man your time's at hand
[Pre-Chorus]
A# C Dm
So that night we made a fire out of twigs and out of bark
C Dm
And our stomachs they were rumbling all through the night so dark
C Dm
It was a messy job but it was one we had to do
C A7
But when the sun came up next day(guess what, the three had turned to two! And I said,
[Chorus]
Dm C A# C
Right there's another one, don't you frown
Dm C A# C
Chew the meat and hold it down,
Dm C A# C
It's a tale they won't believe...
C
When I get down to Hobart town!
[Interlude]
Dm C A# C x2
[Verse 5]
Dm Dm
Now he'd been looking at me funny, sort of eyeing me for days
Dm C
And you would not need to be too bright to know that bastard's ways:
A# C Dm
He was a sick man, he had murder in his heart
Dm Dm
But even bastards have to rest, and even bastards have to sleep
Dm C
And when he was in the land of Nod straight over I did creep
A# C Dm
And the axe that he had wielded now was mine
[Pre-Chorus]
A# C Dm
So that night, I made the fire, out of twigs and out of bark
C Dm
And my stomach it kept rumbling all through the night so dark
C Dm
I can't say that I enjoyed it, and it wasn't exactly fun
C A7
But when the sun came up next morning, the two had turned to one! And I said,
[Chorus]
Dm C A# C
Right there's another one, don't you frown
Dm C A# C
Chew the meat and hold it down,
Dm C A# C
It's a tale they won't believe...
C
When I get down to Hobart town!

[Verse 6]
Dm Dm
Well now history is a pack of lies, as any fool can tell
Dm C
So when I got down to Hobart town I told my story well
A# C Dm
But do you think they would believe one word I said?
Dm Dm
they thought that I was covering for my mates still at large
Dm C
Said they'd be roaming in the bush so wild and free
A# C Dm
And back to old Macquarie Harbour they sent me
[Pre-Chorus]
A# C Dm
But I remember the fires made out of twigs and made of bark
C Dm
And my stomach it was grumbling all through the night so dark
C Dm
And this young fool he just said to me it's liberty or death
C A7
And he looked a rather tasty one, I just could not help it singing
[Chorus]
Dm C A# C
right there's another one, don't you frown
Dm C A# C
Chew the meat and hold it down,
Dm C A# C
It's a tale they won't believe...
C C
When I get down, when I get down,
C Dm C A# C Dm
When I get down to Hobart town!
