Verse 1
D 
A 
G 
D 
Now I've been chasing Sheilas
G 
D 
for more than half my life
G 
But seldom have I had one
D 
E 
A 
that's thought to be my wife
D 
But I met a little Sheila
G 
D 
out on the Queensland plains
A 
G 
D 
She said, don't try and leave me
A 
D 
like your other burnt -out flames
A 
D 
She said, don't try and leave me,
A 
G 
D 
don't you try to run
G 
D 
Cos Pappy's right behind you
E 
A 
and he's got a loaded gun
D 
There's going to be a wedding
G 
D 
whether you agree or not
A 
G 
D 
And if you try to get away,
A 
D 
my darling, you'll get shot
Ooh, out! Arr!
Arr!
A 
A -la -la -la -dee, a -la -la -la -dee,
D 
a -la -la -la -dee
Ooh, out! Arr!
Arr!
A 
A -la -la -la -dee, a -la -la -la -dee,
D 
dee -dee -dee
They made the preparations
G 
for the wedding to begin,
D 
G 
D 
sent out the invitations
E 
A 
to call the people in .
D 
A 
Then they marched me to the church,
G 
D 
all the drongos strung along.
G 
A 
An old man walked behind me
D 
A 
D 
and he sang this little song.
Here comes the bride,
A 
D 
the sheik by her side,
G 
D 
A 
feeling very sorry for himself.
D 
He tried to run,
A 
D 
but I stopped him with my gun
A 
D 
He's going to marry her, or else I said,
A 
D 
listen you old geezer,
you've made a big mistake
G 
D 
Your daughter for a wife,
Eb 
A 
I will never take
D 
There's a window right behind me,
and through it I shall fly
So just before I leave you,
A 
D 
I'll say goodbye
Then I started running,
A 
D 
I  jumped across the room
G 
D 
As I felt something hit me,
A 
I heard an awful boom
D 
Now my friends, I'm far away,
A 
I stand beneath a tree
D 
Picking out the buckshot
A 
D 
that old coot fired into me
A 
D 
Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
D 
A 
D 
G 
D 
ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah you
