1    1    2   3    3  -2*  3   -3   3
In Mount-Joy jail one Mon-day morn-ing
 2   3  6   5   3   2    -1
High up-on the gal-lows tree
-4  5  -5  5   -4  -2   -3    3
Kev-in Bar-ry gave his young life
-2*  3   -4   -3 -2  3  2
For the cause of lib-er-ty
 1  2  3  3   -2*   3  -3   3
But a lad of eight-een sum-mers
2 3 6  -5   3  2  -1
Yet no-one can de-ny
-4 5    -5   5   -4    -2   -3   3
As he walked to death that morn-ing
3   -2*  3   -4  -3   -2  -1  1
He proud-ly held his head on high
