[Verse 1]
[A]Oh,
you who hail [Am]from Ontario
Know the tale of the [C]Donnelly's [G]Die[Am]d
at the hands of a mob that night
Every child and man by the [C]oil torch [G]light
Jim [Am]Donnelly [A]was no [Am]angel sure
But they burned his barn
Broke [C]down the door
[G]Well the chi[Am]ldren cried while they
killed old Jim
Then they killed his wife
Then they turned on [G]them
No judge, no jury, no hangman
No justice in Ontario

[Verse 2]
[C]
[G]A hun[Am]dred years or more have turned
And you always hear how [C]much we've learned
[G]Well, a man[Am] lay dead[A] in a
[Am]Port Hope [A]bar
And the blood ran [Am]red on a
hardwood [G]floor
And the [Am]big men ran
through the nearest door
Only one man knew what
had happened for sure
[G]Well, one[Am] and all wore the
outlaws' brand
And the big bikes roared
through the Great Northland
[G]When you live on the edge
of the law
You know, justice in Ontario
[Am]
[G][A][Am]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Blue smoke [A]still hung in [Am]the air
No one spoke when the
cops got there
Well the local constable [A]made the call
[Am]Send us Corporal [C]Terry [G]Hall
[Am]They all [A]sang a different tune
When Corporal Hall walked
[G]in the room
With his [Am]picture [A]book
and a [Am]list of names
One by one the witnesses [G]came
And they told him what
he wanted to know
Justice in Ontario

[Verse 4]
[Am]The pro
vincial [A]cops searched far and wide
And the outlaws [Am]ran
but they [C]could not [G]hide
And [Am]they brought'em in
every single one
Save the man who actually
[C]fired [G]the gun
It was [Am]down in Lon[A]don
They were tried
And the [Am]guilty man stood free outside
[G]When he too[Am]k the stand
to pay his debt
The judge was blind and the jury [G]deaf

[Verse 5]
In Kingston Town they're locked
up still
When the sun goes down
and the air is [D]chill
You could [A]swear you heard Jim
Donnelly's [Am]ghost cry
Justice in [G]Ontario
