Song: | I posted two versions. The song is in G major, 6 flats. The first version is right off the page without the flats, but in the second I tried to lower it an octave by ear. Mostly right except for the -2b. Can't quite get that one. 6 -6 -7 -6 6 5 -4 Hold me now, oh hold me now 6 -6 -6-7 -6 -6 -7-6 'til this hour has gone around -6 -6 -6-7 -7 -7 -7 -8 -88 And I'm gone on the rising tide 6 -6 -7 -6 6 -6 6 For to face Van Diemen's land It's a bitter pill I swallow here To be rent from one so dear We fought for justice and not for gain But the magistrate sent me away Now kings will rule and the poor will toil And tear their hands as they tear the soil But a day will come in this dawning age When an honest man sees an honest wage Hold me now, oh hold me now 'til this hour has gone around And I'm gone on the rising tide For to face Van Diemen's land Version two 4 -4 5 -4 4 -2b 3 Hold me now, oh hold me now 4 -4 -4 5 -4 -4 5 -4 'til this hour has gone around -4 -4 -4 5 5 5 5-5 6-6 And I'm gone on the rising tide 4 -4 5 -4 4 -4 4 For to face Van Diemen's land |
