[Intro 1]
[G][D][G][D][A][G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Farewell to [G]you,
my [A]faithful
Nancy,
[G]And a tho[Em]usand tim[A]es a due
[D]For the constable [G]comes up from
[A]Brackley
Mar[G]ket
And a [Em]hundred volun[A]teers, [D]too
No [G]more will we hide in [D]the forest
For [Em]fear they would run
us [A]to ground[Asus4]
[A]For the wil[D]d sea[G], we sai[A]led upon it,[G]
Too [Em]close [A]to the win[D]d.[G][A][G][A][D]
For twenty years [G]we have [A]roved
the high[G]ways of
[Em]Northamp[A]tonshire
[D]From
Daventry [G]down to the
[A]Southern
By[G]ways
We [Em]robbed both the rich [A]and [D]the poor
For [G]off times our families were starving
[D]And the hig[Em]hway, it kept them ali[G]ve
[A]So the wil[D]d sea[G], we [A]sailed upon it[G]
Too [Em]close [A]to the win[D]d[G][A][G][A][D]
Tonight, I [G]lie in a [A]darkened dun[G]geon,
[Em]con demned on the gall[A]ows to d[D]ie.
[G]While the [D]man who [G]gave us the [A]way
Is [G]only bound [Em]for
Aus[A]tralia[D]
No [G]man could be found to defend [D]us
[Em]Nought but abuse came our [Asus4]way
[A]For the wil[D]d sea[G], we'd sai[A]led upon it[G]
Too [Em]close [A]to the win[D]d

[Verse 2]
[D]clouds,
[G]they rise over
[A]Northampton
Market
[G]And the [Em]crowds pour [A]into the town
[D]An [G]d t[D]he [G]people [D]will
[G]throng in [Em]these [A]streets
till [G]sunset
When the [Em]hangman [A]cuts us [D]down
And [G]fifty children of
[D]Qalbath, their [Em]fathers
are taken [Asus4]away
[A]For the wil[D]d sea[G], they sai[A]led upo[D]n it[G]
Too [Em]close [A]to the wav[D]e[G][A]
[D]Once saf[G]e, we sai[A]led,
[G]too clo[Em]se to [A]the ground[D][G][D][G][A][Asus4][D][G][A][D]
