Key: E Capo 2 (D)
D G D A7 G D
I was born and raised in Bos-ton, a place you all know well,
G A7 D Bm G A A7
Brought up by honest par-ents, the truth to you I’ll tell.
D G D A7 G D
Brought up by honest par-ents, and raised most tenderly,
G A7 D Bm G A7 D
Till I became a sporting lad, at the age of twenty three.
D G D A7 G D
My character was ta-ken, and I was sent to jail,
G A7 D Bm G A A7
My friends they came and tried in vain, to get me out on bail.
D G D A7 G D
The jury found me guil-ty, the clerk he wrote it down,
G A7 D Bm G A7 D
The judge he passed my sentence and I was sent to Charlestown.
D G D A7 G D
They placed me on an east bound train, one cold December day,
G A7 D Bm G A A7
And at every station we passed through, you could hear the people say.
D G D A7 G D
“There goes the Boston bur-glar in cold chains he is bound,
G A7 D Bm G A7 D
For one crime or another he is bound for Charlestown”.
Instrumental: G A7 D G A7 D
D G D A7 D
Now you that have your freedom, take warning if you can,
G A7 D Bm G A A7
Don’t go around the streets at night, breaking laws of God and man.
D G D A7 G D
For if you do you’re sure to rue, and find yourself like me,
G A7 D Bm G A7 D
Serving up twen-ty three years, in the Pena-ten-tury.
D G D A7 G D
