C# G# C# Ned Kelly was a wild young bush ranger F# C# G# Out of Victoria he rode with his brother Dan F# C# F# He loved his people and he loved his freedom D# G# And he loved to ride the wide open land Ned Kelly was a victim of the changes That came when his land was a sprout and seed And the wrongs he did were multiplied in legend With young Australia growing like a weed Chorus: F# C# G# C# Ned Kelly took the blame Ned Kelly won the fame F# C# G# C# Ned Kelly brought the shame And then Ned Kelly hanged Well he hid out in the bush and in the forest And he loved to hear the wind blow in the trees While the men behind the badge were coming for him Ned said they'll never bring me to my knees But everything was changed and run in cycles And Ned knew that his day was at an end He made a suit of armour out of ploughshares But Ned was brought down by the trooper's men Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC#  D#  F#  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
