       D             G              A        D
I am a member of the council of the naval mutiny
       D             G                 D       A      D
And no traitor to my conscience having done my sworn duty

These are my last words before the scaffold and I charge you all to hear
      D                G               D       A    D
How a wretched British sailor Became a citizen mutineer

Pressed into service to carry powder I was loyal to the crack of the whip
     D                         G                  D          A       D
If I starved on the streets of Bristol, I starved worse on a British ship

           D                                       G
Red is the colour of the new republic, blue is the colour of the sea
             D                                        A       D      D  G  D
White is the colour of my innocence, not surrender to your mercy

      D              G             A               D
I was awoken from my misery by the words of Thomas Paine
      D                G             D        A        D
On my barren soil they fell like The sweetest drops of rain

White is the colour of my innocence, not surrender to your mercy

BRIDGE:
          D                                          D
So in the spring of the year we took the fleet every sail and cannon and compass sheet
       G                               A
And we flew a Jacobean flag to give us heart
      D          Bm               G           A   D
While Pitt stood helpless we were waiting for Bonaparte

Red is the colour of the new republic, blue is the colour of the sea
             D                                        A       D      D  G  D
White is the colour of my innocence, not surrender to your mercy

All you soldiers, all you sailors,  all you labourers of the land

        D                G                D            A        D
All you beggars, all you builders, you've come here to watch me hang

           D                  G                  A            D
And to the masters we are the rabble, we are the swinish multitude
           D              G              D           A             D
But we can re-arrange the colours of the red and the white and the blue

Red is the colour of the new republic, blue is the colour of the sea

White is the colour of my innocence, not surrender to your mercy

Red is the colour of the new republic, blue is the colour of the sea
             D                                        A       D      D  G  D
White is the colour of my innocence, not surrender to your mercy
