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