[C][G][F][C][G][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]A hundred years and [G]many
a tear tells the [F]story of Harry [C]Power
Took Ned Kelly when [G]he was a lad
and [F]just a wild [C]flower
Taught him how to rob taught him [G]how
to hide in [F]not so many [C]hours
Such was his fame the mention [G]of his name
led [F]those who heard to [C]cower
His [G]mother gave him [F]fifteen
quid to [C]take the [F]boy [C]away
[G]Just fourteen and [F]never been kissed
but [C]Harry[G]'s [F]world held [C]sway
He [G]lit the fire he [F]cooked the food
they [C]headed [G]Whi[F]tfield way[C]
[G]Hold them horses [F]Ned he cried
And [C]we'll be [F]rich [C]today![G]

[Verse 2]
To [C]Bullock Creek they [G]headed out
and [F]Ned became [C]a ranger
Those wooden walls were two [G]feet thick
to [F]keep them from [C]all danger
Harry wagged his [G]pipe at Ned and
[F]told the tale [C]of Whitty
Who sold his soul to the [G]devil red
and [F]gave lawyer[C]s no pity
They [G]headed out the [F]month of May and
[C]robbed [G]the [F]Buckland [C]coach
[G]Look who's here brave [F]Cody
cried and [C]Harry [G]sai[F]d Approach!
[G]The women gave their jew[F]elry because
[C]Ned's [G]ma [F]needs [C]a broach
[G]Hold them horses [F]Ned he cried Let's [C]find some [F]gold [C]to [G]poach!

[Verse 3]
[C]Harry [G]disappeared a while but
[F]soon he came [C]a calling
He'd taken back the [G]Quiller boots
and [F]Ned he was [C]crestfallen
The boots restored [G]at [F]Tarawingee Harry
wasn't [C]stalling
Get on your horse and [G]follow me
his [F]manners were [C]appalling
He [G]took revenge by [F]urging Ned
to [C]tan [G]old Bil[F]l Frost's hid[C]e
[G]In Beechworth Town a gun [F]went off
and [C]Ned [G]thought [F]he'd shot [C]wide
[G]Frost he fell a [F]naked ape and the
[C]blood [G]spilled [F]from his side
[C]Get on [G]your horse and fol[F]low me
you're a [C]wanted [G]man[F] he [C]lie[G]d

[Verse 4]
[C]Harry was taken [G]by the law and all
[F]thought that Ned [C]was spilling
But Ned he was a loy[G]al dog
he'd [F]taken quite a [C]grilling
He took the blame read [G]Lorna Doone
then [F]found a lady [C]willing
Then Fitzpatrick [G]turned his coat
and [F]Ned he took [C]to killing
I've [G]really had [F]to simplify because
[C]Ned's [G]the [F]name we [C]know
[G]He's the one that [F]history
has [C]de [G]cided [F]to show
[C]The boo[G]ks that bear his nam[F]e
describe his [C]armor [G]and[F] his woe[C]
But [G]Harry holds the [F]key for me
he's the [C]truly [F]seasoned [C]pro[G]
A [C]hundred years

[Verse 5]
and [G]many a tear
tells [F]the story of Harry [C]Power
