[Verse 1]
G#m G#m
We left Macquarie Harbour it was in the pouring rain
G#m F#
None of us quite sure if we would see England again
Fb F# G#m
Some fool muttered death or liberty
G#m G#m
There was six of us together a jolly hungry crew
G#m F#
And as the days went by you know our hunger quickly grew
Fb F# G#m
Some fool muttered death or liberty
[Pre-Chorus]
Fb F# G#m
So that night we made a fire out of twigs and out of bark
F# G#m
And our stomachs they were grumbling all through the night so dark
F#
We were only trying to keep ourselves alive
F# D#7
But when the sun came up next morning well the six had turned to five, and I said,
[Chorus]
G#m F# Fb F#
Right there's another one, don't you frown
G#m F# Fb F#
Chew the meat and hold it down,
G#m F# Fb F#
It's a tale they won't believe...
F#
When I get down to Hobart town
[Interlude]
G#m F# Fb F# x2
[Verse 2]
G#m G#m
All five of us were nervous and I'll tell you that's a fact
G#m F#
But you should have seen the bastard who was carrying the axe
Fb F# G#m
He was a sick man he had murder in his heart
G#m G#m
And then we reached the Franklin River, and it took two days to cross
G#m F#
We were wet and almost starvin' and for food were at a loss
Fb F# G#m
We were hungry men with murder on our minds
[Pre-Chorus]
Fb F# G#m
So that night we made a fire out of twigs and out of bark
F# G#m
And our stomachs they were rumbling all through the night so dark
F# G#m
And they were making noises the dead could not ignore
F#
And when the sun came up next morning
D#7
The five had turned to four! And I said,
[Chorus]
G#m F# Fb F#
Right there's another one, don't you frown
G#m F# Fb F#
Chew the meat and hold it down,
G#m F# Fb F#
It's a tale they won't believe...
F#
When I get down to Hobart town

[Verse 3]
G#m G#m
Well the four of us kept marching to a place called Western Tiers
G#m F#
D# country full of tasty game but for us it held no cheer
Fb F# G#m
We had no guns we were traveling without hope
G#m G#m
But the axe it loomed so ominous and God's hand was at play
G#m F#
D# sick man is a type of game which can not run away
Fb F# G#m
So stay easy, my poor man, your time's at hand
[Pre-Chorus]
Fb F# G#m
So that night we made a fire out of twigs and out of bark
F# G#m
And our stomachs they were rumbling all through the night so dark
F# G#m
I can't say I feel guilty, after all it wasn't me
F# D#7
But when the sun came up next morning the four had turned to three! And I said,
[Chorus]
G#m F# Fb F#
Right there's another one, don't you frown
G#m F# Fb F#
Chew the meat and hold it down,
G#m F# Fb F#
It's a tale they won't believe...
F#
When I get down to Hobart town!
[Interlude]
G#m F# Fb F# x2
[Verse 4]
G#m G#m
Well the three of us kept moving but one was fading fast
G#m F#
He had been bitten by a snake and you could see he would not last
Fb F# G#m
Stay easy my good man your time's at hand
G#m G#m
And when he could last no longer his days were fading fast
G#m F#
We were far to weak to carry him subsistency comes first
Fb F# G#m
Stay easy my good man your time's at hand
[Pre-Chorus]
Fb F# G#m
So that night we made a fire out of twigs and out of bark
F# G#m
And our stomachs they were rumbling all through the night so dark
F# G#m
It was a messy job but it was one we had to do
F# D#7
But when the sun came up next day(guess what, the three had turned to two! And I said,
[Chorus]
G#m F# Fb F#
Right there's another one, don't you frown
G#m F# Fb F#
Chew the meat and hold it down,
G#m F# Fb F#
It's a tale they won't believe...
F#
When I get down to Hobart town!

[Verse 5]
G#m G#m
Now he'd been looking at me funny, sort of eyeing me for days
G#m F#
And you would not need to be too bright to know that bastard's ways:
Fb F# G#m
He was a sick man, he had murder in his heart
G#m G#m
But even bastards have to rest, and even bastards have to sleep
G#m F#
And when he was in the land of Nod straight over I did creep
Fb F# G#m
And the axe that he had wielded now was mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Fb F# G#m
So that night, I made the fire, out of twigs and out of bark
F# G#m
And my stomach it kept rumbling all through the night so dark
F# G#m
I can't say that I enjoyed it, and it wasn't exactly fun
F# D#7
But when the sun came up next morning, the two had turned to one! And I said,
[Chorus]
G#m F# Fb F#
Right there's another one, don't you frown
G#m F# Fb F#
Chew the meat and hold it down,
G#m F# Fb F#
It's a tale they won't believe...
F#
When I get down to Hobart town!

[Verse 6]
G#m G#m
Well now history is a pack of lies, as any fool can tell
G#m F#
So when I got down to Hobart town I told my story well
Fb F# G#m
But do you think they would believe one word I said?
G#m G#m
they thought that I was covering for my mates still at large
G#m F#
Said they'd be roaming in the bush so wild and free
Fb F# G#m
And back to old Macquarie Harbour they sent me
[Pre-Chorus]
Fb F# G#m
But I remember the fires made out of twigs and made of bark
F# G#m
And my stomach it was grumbling all through the night so dark
F# G#m
And this young fool he just said to me it's liberty or death
F# D#7
And he looked a rather tasty one, I just could not help it singing
[Chorus]
G#m F# Fb F#
right there's another one, don't you frown
G#m F# Fb F#
Chew the meat and hold it down,
G#m F# Fb F#
It's a tale they won't believe...
F# F#
When I get down, when I get down,
F# G#m F# Fb F# G#m
When I get down to Hobart town!
