Old Man Emu Chords by John Williamson

[C#] _ _ [F#] _ [C#] _ _ _ [G#] _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Let me tell you of an interview with an [D#] old [G#] man he [C#] knew
He's [F#m] got a beak [C#] and feathers and things
With a poor old fellow [G#] and got [C#] no wings
_ Aren't [F#] you jealous of the wet [C#]-tailed eagle
And [D#] by the little I [G#] die, die [C#] while the eagle's flying
Round and round to keep it two feet firmly on the ground
Now I can't fly, but I'm telling you
I can run the pants of a kangaroo
But I do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
He can't [F#] fly but I'm [C#] telling you
He can run the pants of a kangaroo
[F#] _ [C#] Well _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ [C#] _ _ _ _ he was the model [F#m] for the [C#] 50 Cent
But by the little I die, die the designer should have had more sense
But by the little I die, die if you take [D#] a look [F#] it'll prove to you
[D] I run the pants of that [C#] kangaroo
But I do [F#m]-do-do [C#]-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Take a look it'll prove to you
He ran the pants of a kangaroo
[F#] _ [C#] He _ _ can't float alone like a cockatoo
But by the little [G#] I die, [C#] die
Swooping [F#m] tarts like an [C#] albatross
But by the little I die, die
You still thinkin' la?
I'm better by far than a white cockatoo or a budgerigar
They squeak and squawk and try to talk
Why me and them's like cheese and chalk
But I do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
He can't fly but I'm telling you
He can run the pants of a kangaroo
[F#] _ [C#] Well _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ [C#] _ _ _ _
the last time [F#m] I saw [C#] old man he knew
But by the [G#] little I die, [C#] die
He was chasing a female he knew
But by the little I die, die
As he shot past I heard him say
[N] She _ can't fly but I'm telling you
She can run the pants of a [C#] kangaroo
But I do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
She can't fly but I'm telling you
She can run the pants of a kangaroo
[F#] _ [C#] Well _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ [C#] _ _ _ _
there is a moral to this ditty
But by the little I die, die
Mush can sing but he ain't pretty
But by the little I die, die
Duck can swim but he can't sing
Nor can eagle on the wing
He can't fly but I'm telling you
He can run the [G#] pants of a [C#]
kangaroo
[F#m] _ [C#] Well _ _ the cook a burrow laughed and he said it's true
But by the little I die, die
I _ _ do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do _ -do
_ [G#] _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
