[Verse 1]
[D]The[Em]re wa[A]s[D][A][D]
a wild colo[Em]nial boy,
Jack
[A]Duggan was [D]his name
He [Asus4]was born [D]and raised in
[A]Ireland, in a [G]place called
[A]Castle,
[D]Maine
He was his father's [A]only son,
[G]His mother's pride and [A]joy,
And [D]dearly did his [Em]parents love
The [A]wild colonial [D]boy.[A]
[D]At the early age of [Em]sixteen years
He [A]left his native [D]home,
And to
Aus[A]tralia's sunny land
He [G]was in[A]clined to [D]roam
He robbed the rich an[A]d
he helped the [Em]poor
He stopped
[G]James
McA[A]voy
A [D]terror to
Aus[Em]tralia was
The
[A]Wild
Colonial
[D]Boy[A][Em][A][D]
One morning on [Em]the prairie,
[Bm]Jack[Em][Bm]
[A]Duggan rode [D]along
[A]Listening [D]to the moc[A]kingbird
[D]singing [G]a che[A]erful son[D]g
Out jumped three troop[A]ers,
[D]fie[A]rce and grim,
[Em]Kelly
[G]Davis and
[A]Fitzroy
They [D]all set out to [Em]cap ture him,
[G]the [A]wild colonial [D]boy
Surrender now,
Jack
[Em]Dug gan, c[Bm]ome [Em]you s[G]ee
[A]there's three to one[D]
Sur[A]render [D]in the
[A]Queen's name, sir
For you [G]are [A]a plundering [D]son
Jack [A]drew [D]two pistol[A]s from his side
An[Em]d he [G]glared [D]upon
[G]Fitzroy
[A]I'll fig[D]ht but not surren[Em]der,
[Bm]Said the [A]wild colonial [Em]boy.[D][Em][A][D]
[A][G]
[A][D][A][D][A][D][A][D][A][G][A]
[D][Em][A][D]
He fired a shot at
[Em]Kelly
Which [A]brought him to the [D]ground
He fired point -blank at
[A]Davis too, who [G]fell dead [A]at the [D]sound
But [A]a b[D]ullet p[A]ierced his brave young
[Em]heart from the [G]pistol of
[A]Fitzroy
And [D]that was [A]how they [Em]captured [Bm]him,
the [A]wild colonial [D]boy[Em][A][D]
