Scrap With A Buck Kangaroo chords by Slim Dusty
Verse 1
G
C
G
With an old .22 I went out for a roo
C
G
To feed up my old cattle hound
C
My chances were slim
F
with the light growing dim
G
C
For all I had left was one round
I cranked up the heat
G
that resembled a jeep
C
G
And drove to a tank on the run
C
Where roos come to drink,
F
that's the best place I think,
G
C
A man's almost certain for one.
G
I lined up a doe in the stance of a pro,
C
G
The rifle held tight in my fist.
C
I then held my breath,
F
for this roo it meant death,
G
C
I squeezed on the trigger but missed.
Then in my disgust
G
I threw down in the dust
C
G
That rifle and cursed at my aim
C
F
I came for a rue and that's what I will do
G
C
G
C
The old dog will eat just the same
I turned on the lights
G
all keyed up for a fight
C
G
And bailed up a buck kangaroo
C
Then armed with the stick,
F
I tore into him quick
G
C
Never dreaming just what he would do
He grabbed at the stick
G
and then started to kick
C
G
My shirt was ripped open both sides
C
And the next thing I knew,
F
as I sparred with that rue
G
C
I was minus a pair of good strides
He won every round,
G
I was kicked to the ground
C
G
With hoppers I thought were of steel
C
F
Then away I did shoot like
a young bandicoot
G
C
With that old kangaroo on my heels
I climbed up the tree
G
and that rue I could see
C
G
Went bounding away through the night
C
Then back to the Jeep
F
I did carefully creep
G
C
And passed out on the seat like a light
When I woke from my doze
G
I was just about froze
C
G
And aching all over to boot
C
F
My trousers and shirt are no more,
that's a cert
G
C
I arrived home in my birthday suit
Now I've knocked around in
G
the country and town
C
G
Cook of eating and many, that's true
C
But none can compare
F
with the scars that I bare
G
When I pulled on that
C
G
C
fucked kangaroo you
