You've heard about Ned Kelly and those other famous crooks.
I've seen them on the TV.
I've seen them in my picture [A] books.
Well, here's a little song about a bloke so bad and mean.
An evil, vicious outlaw, the worst there's ever been.
[D] Oh, out in the bush where the kookaburras [A] fly,
Where the gum trees reach to the [Em] clear blue [D] sky,
There's a cave in the hillside where [A] I hide.
I'm a big bad bush, [D] bush ranger.
Deep in the cave there's a big black hole
[A] That's filled to the brim with blocks of [D] gold
And diamond rings and things I [A] stole.
I'm a big bad bush, [D] bush ranger.
[G] Late at [D] night when the sun goes [A] down
And [D] everyone's asleep in [G] town,
I count all the [D] money in my dressing [A] gown.
I'm a big bad bush, [D] bush ranger.
I'm a bush, I'm a bush, I'm a bush, bush [A] ranger.
Running from the law, living on [D] danger.
Bang, bang, here just diggin' my strain.
[A] I'm a big bad bush, [D] bush ranger.
[A] [D] Got a rope and a whip and a gun, of [A] course.
I'm chased everywhere by the bush police [D] force
While I ride through the night.
I'm a big black [A] horse, I'm a big bad [D] bush, bush ranger.
And when the townsfolk see me [A] ride,
They'd lock all their doors and [Em] stay [D] inside
And find a place that's safe to hide.
[A] I'm a big bad bush, [D] bush ranger.
[G] I ride thirty [D] miles through the wind and hail
To hold up a bank or the Royal [G] Mail.
I give all my money [D] to my girlfriend [A] Gayle.
I'm a big bad bush, [D] bush ranger.
I'm a bush, I'm a bush, I'm a bush, [A] bush ranger.
Running from the law, living on danger.
[D] Bang, bang, here just diggin' my [A] strain.
I'm a big [D] bad bush, bush ranger.
[A] [D]
[A] [D] I sleep every morning till half past [A] nine.
Have a brickie in bed, then rise and [D] shine.
Get dressed in my best for my life of [A] crime.
I'm a big bad [D] bush, bush ranger.
I'm loved by the married women [A] everywhere.
By the silly old husbands curse and [D] swear.
I haven't got a worry and I haven't got a [A] care.
I'm a big bad [D] bush, bush ranger.
[G] I'm the terror of [D] North West New South [A] Wales.
From small bush [D] town to Outback [G] Trails.
I don't like [D] judges and I don't like [A] game.
I'm a big bad [D] bush, bush ranger.
I'm a bush, I'm a bush, I'm a bush, bush [A] ranger.
Running from the law, living on [D] danger.
Bang, bang here just diggin' my [A] strain.
I'm a big bad [D] bush, bush ranger.
I'm a bush, I'm a bush, I'm a bush, bush [A] ranger.
Running from the law, living on danger.
[D] Bang, bang here just diggin' my strain.
I'm [A] a big bad [D] bush, bush ranger.
