Perhaps closer to Kate's version is the way I play it:


C                               G
What's the matter with you me lass

       Am                F         G
And where's your dashing Jimmy?

            C                     G
Them soldier boys have picked him up   

       Am    Gsus4   F    C
And taken him far from me

       C                     G (or Em)
Last payday he went into town

       Am          F       G
And them red-coated fellows

    C                      G
Enticed him in and made him drunk


                Am             F      G C
And he'd better gone to the gallows


Remember that Kate plays mostly in Drop-D tuning.

Cheers,
Michael
