JUSTICE – FREMANTLE BAY
Dm C F G7
Oh my name hasn't mattered for manys a day
Am Em F G
I was born on the west coast of Clare
Am Em F C
By the time I was married and had my own land
Dm G7 G
There were many who envied me there

Dm C F G7
Our home was contented, the years quickly passed
Am Em F G
We had four lads to carry our name
Am Em F C
Then one year the crops failed and the hunger set in
Dm G7 G
I was certain that I was to blame

Chorus:
F C
And oft times I think about Doolin
F Em
And our cottage a lifetime away
F G F C
Though I'm chained here and bound, my heart can't be found
Dm G7 G
In this prison on Fremantle Bay

Dm C F G7
There was manys an evening I stood by the door
Am Em F G
I looked out where my crops used to be
Am Em F C
But the pain deep inside as I looked in the eyes
Dm G7 C
Of our children, it drove me to steal

Dm C F G7
It was raining the night when the sheriff's men came
Am Em F G
And the judge gave his verdict next day
Am Em F C
For the lamb that you've stolen you'll have to be sent
Dm G7 G
To a colony where you will stay

Chorus:
F C
And oft times I think about Doolin
F Em
And our cottage a lifetime away
F G F C
Though I'm chained here and bound, my heart can't be found
Dm G7 G
In this prison on Fremantle Bay

Dm C F G7
Oh the sun it beats down from a merciless sky
Am Em F G
And the rocks they eat into our feet
Am Em F C
Oh the work's very hard but there's never a break
Dm G7 G
For unfortunate men such as me

Dm C F G7
My crime costs a shilling and sixpence to mend
Am Em F G
But it took me away cross the sea
Am Em F C
And now I must spend out the rest of my days
Dm G7 G
In this land that means nothing to me

Chorus: (twice)
F C
And oft times I think about Doolin
F Em
And our cottage a lifetime away
F G F C
Though I'm chained here and bound, my heart can't be found
Dm G7 G
In this prison on Fremantle Bay
