D G I am a member of the council of
A D the naval mutiny
D G And no traitor to my conscience
D A D having done my sworn duty VERSE 2:
D These are my last words before the
G A scaffold and I charge you all to
D hear
D G How a wretched British sailor
D A D Became a citizen mutineer VERSE 3:
D G Pressed into service to carry
A powder I was loyal to the crack of
D the whip
D If I starved on the streets of
G D Bristol, I starved worse on a
A D British ship CHORUS:
D Red is the colour of the new
G republic, blue is the colour of the sea
D White is the colour of my
A D innocence, not surrender to your
D G D mercy VERSE 4:
D G I was awoken from my misery by the
A D words of Thomas Paine

D G On my barren soil they fell like
D A D The sweetest drops of rain CHORUS:
D Red is the colour of the new
G republic, blue is the colour of the sea
D White is the colour of my
A D innocence, not surrender to your
D G D mercy BRIDGE:
D So in the spring of the year we
D took the fleet every sail and cannon and compass sheet
G And we flew a Jacobean flag to give
A us heart
D Bm While Pitt stood helpless we were
G A D waiting for Bonaparte CHORUS:
D Red is the colour of the new
G republic, blue is the colour of the sea
D White is the colour of my
A D innocence, not surrender to your
D G D mercy VERSE 5:
D G All you soldiers, all you sailors,
A D all you labourers of the land
D G All you beggars, all you builders,
D A D you've come here to watch me hang VERSE 6:
D And to the masters we are the
G A D rabble, we are the swinish multitude
D G But we can re-arrange the colours
D A of the red and the white and the
D blue CHORUS:
D Red is the colour of the new
G republic, blue is the colour of the sea
D White is the colour of my
A D innocence, not surrender to your
D G D mercy CHORUS:
D Red is the colour of the new
G republic, blue is the colour of the sea
D White is the colour of my
A D innocence, not surrender to your
D G D mercy
