The Helm of Ned Kelly Chords Blackbird Raum (This is from having listened to the song a few times and just trying to play along, sorry about any mistakes! Listen to the song for timing and have fun :D ) G C Bb Like a fist clutching bread just to hoard Eb G C G And to withhold like the grain that they locked in the silos We’ll be eating soup of stone ‘til what we grow is what we own We won’t take from the land what’s freely given Throw out the deeds to the land Throw the debts into the furnace Debts to god, to the banks, and to the landlord Don your armor don your helm That was forged from an old plow’s blade Train your horses round and aim your guns at Sydney G C Bb D I was born from the seed that was swallowed by a mad woman G C G From the lips and the tongue of Ceridwen I had took just a taste that had splashed up from the black kettle In the waves neither drowned nor aged a day [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/b/blackbird-raum/302187.html ] Down there lying in the brush Was one bloody tethered horse One detective in the service of the crown Even though we’re just one pistol Against an army of policemen I insist that we are many and they are few Throw out the deeds to the land Throw the debts into the furnace Debts to god, to the banks, and to the landlord Don your armor don your helm That was forged from an old plow’s blade Train your horses round and aim your guns at Sydney G C Bb D I was born from the seed that was swallowed by a mad woman G C G From the lips and the tongue of Ceridwen I had took just a taste that had splashed up from the black kettle In the waves neither drowned nor aged a day It was on Van Dieman’s land Where your father came in transport Chained like cattle to the deck of a ship Held hostage in a word stolen from the shores of Erin South Australia born in bondage to the queen’s men G C Bb D I was born from the seed that was swallowed by a mad woman G C G From the lips and the tongue of Ceridwen I had took just a taste that had splashed up from the black kettle In the waves neither drowned nor aged a day (Outro): A, D, C, F5 (8th fret), A, D, A ( might be easier to play these chords as barred power chords.) |
