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