Old Man Emu Chords by John Williamson

Let me [F#m] tell you of an [C#] interview with an [D#] old [G#] man he knew.
[C#] He's got a beak [F#m] and feathers [C#] and things, but the poor old fellow ain't got no wings.
_ _ Aren't you [F#] jealous of the [C#] witch-tailed eagle and Barad [D#]-ditch-a-da [G#]-da-da?
Well, the [G] eagle's flying round and round to keep her two feet firmly on the ground.
Now, I can't fly, but I'm telling you, I can run the paths of a [C#] kangaroo.
_ [F#] _
[C#] _ _ _ _ [D#] _ [C#] _ He can't fly, [F#m] but I'm telling [C#] you, he can run the paths of a kangaroo.
_ [F#] _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
[C#] _ _ _ _ Well, he was the [F#m] model for the [C#] 50 Cents.
Um-ba [D#]-da-ditch-a-da [G#]-da [C#]-da.
The designer should have had more sense.
Um-ba-da-ditch-a-da-da-da.
If you take a look, [Gm] it'll prove to you, ha-ha-ha, I run the paths of that [C#] kangaroo.
Ba-da-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do [D#]-do-do [G#]-do-do-do.
[C#] Take a look, it'll prove to you, he runs the paths of a kangaroo.
[F#] _ [C#] _ _ _ _
He can't look the look like a cockatoo.
Um-ba-da [G#]-ditch-a-da-da [C#]-da.
Swoop and [F#m] toss [C#] like an albatross.
Um [G#]-ba-da-ditch-a [C#]-da-da-da.
You certainly [G] can laugh.
I'm better by far than a white cockatoo or a budgerigar.
They squeak and squawk and try to talk.
[D#] Why, me and them's like cheese and chalk.
Ba [C#]-da-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
He can't [F#m] fly, but I'm [C#] telling you, he can run the paths of a kangaroo.
_ [F#] _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ [C#] _ _ _
_ [C#] _ Well, the last time I [F#m] saw old [C#] man, he knew.
Um-ba-da-ditch-a [G#]-da-da-da.
[C#] He was chasing a female he knew.
Um-ba-da-ditch-a-da-da-da.
As he shot [F#m] past, I [C#] heard him say, [N] she _ _ _ can't fly, but I'm telling you, she can run the paths of a kangaroo.
[C#] Ba-da-do [F#]-do-do-do [C#]-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
She can't fly, but I'm telling you, she can run the paths of a kangaroo.
[F#] _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Well, there is a moral to this ditty.
Um-ba-da-ditch [G#]-a-da-da [C#]-da.
Flash can [F#] sing, but [C#] he ain't pretty.
Um-ba-da-ditch-a-da-da-da.
Duck can [F#] swim, [C#] but he can't sing.
Nor can eagle on the wing.
He knew he can't fly, but I'm telling you, he can run the paths [G#] of a [C#] kangaroo.
_ [F#] _
[C#] _ _ _ _ Well, the kookaburra laughed and he said, it's true.
Um-ba-da-ditch-a-da-da-da. _ _
Ah-ha!
He can run the paths of a kangaroo! _ _
