[Verse 2]
My [Am]brothers and sisters

From the [F]desert and

Much too [C]young,
many died but I [G]have survived
So luck[F]y a bastard like m[Am]e

Nobody [F]knows a bastard like me
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[C]Call me a stray, [G]a dog every day
[F]Call me a mon[G]grel [F]half-breed

Every [F]day in the lucky coun[Am]try
