The Kangaroo Catchers Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Just [A]stand[G] in[A]g ar[G]ound
demin[D]ing my business when [G]suddenly
In the [D]silence the [G]crack of a tweak
and [D]I was aware of their c[G]ompany[D]
A [Bb]glance at their pants
I [F]was out of my trance and [Bb]away I flew
[G]But what can a [Dm]poor [A]roo [Dm]do?
[D]Whoops!
Ha ha ha, you missed!
But [G]that was a little too close
for comfort lads,
they're starting to hem me in
Still the [Bb]slightly superior
speed I've got
and the [Eb]highly superior spring
[Bb]It's a won d[C#]erful sense of freedom
and a [F#]bubbling urge to [C#]sing.
Ooh! They [Bb]got me!
[C#]Oh!
So they shoved me in a [F#]wagon
[C#]that reminded me of [E]Mum.
[B]And I snuggled there
[C#]without a care about [F#]things [B]to [Bbm]come.
[F#]I'll leave it to my cobbers
[C#]who are still out there in the s[E]un.
They can twist [Ab]and run[Db].
[Eb]It's getting a [Ab]little too close for comfort,
lads.
You'd better get up and go.
The [Cb]highly superior speed you've [F#]got
makes [E]everything [B]else look slow
Still it [D]wouldn't do to be
caught by the [G]CSIRO[D]
[G]By [Bb]Georg[F]e they've got [D]him,
by George they've got him
I say [Dm]you there,
re[D]lease that kangaroo there
[Dm]You [D]know[G] Australia is
an impossible [C]place
[G]for a [D]self -respecting kangaroo to [G]live in
It's a **** disgrace
[A]Wel[D]l they say[G] it's the thrill of the chase
but [B]then they're a [G]dreadful [A]race
[B]Oh, [G]yes, [B]indeed.
[A]A shocking b[B]unch of chaps
altogether.
[G]I mean, what could you do with them,
[A]one way or another[A]?[G]
