With an old 22 I [B] went out [F#m] for a roo, [E] to feed up my old [B] cattle hound.
[E] My chances were slim with [A] the light growing dim, [B] for all I had left was [E] one round.
I cranked up the [B] heat that resembled a jeep, [E] and drove to a tank [B] on the run.
[E] Where roos come to drink, [A] that's the best place I think, [B] a man's almost certain [E] for one.
I lined up a doe [B] in the stance of a pro, [E] the rifle held tight [B] in my fist.
[E] I then held my breath [A] for this roo, it meant death, [B] I squeezed on the trigger [E] but missed.
Then in my disgust [B] I threw down in the dust, [E] that rifle and cursed [B] at my aim.
[E] I came for a roo [A] and that's what I will do, [B] the old dog will eat [E] just the same.
[B]
[E] I turned on the light, [B] all keyed up for a fight, [E] and bailed up a buck [B] kangaroo.
[E] Then armed with a [F#m] stick I [A] tore into him quick, [B] never dreaming just what [E] he would do.
He grabbed at the [F#] stick [B] and then started to kick, [E] my shirt was ripped open [B] both sides.
[E] And the next thing I knew [A] as I sparred with that roo, I [B] was minus a pair of [E] good strides.
He won every round, I [B] was kicked to the ground, [E] with hoppers I [F#] thought were [B] of steel.
[E] Then away I did shoot like [A] a young bandicoot, with [B] that old kangaroo on [E] my heel.
I climbed up a tree and [B] that roo I could see, [E] when bounding away [B] through the night.
[E] Then back to the [E] jeep I [A] did carefully creep, and [B] passed out on the seat like [E] a light.
When I woke from my doze I [B] was just about froze, [E] and aching all over [B] to boot.
[E] My trousers and shirt are [A] no more, that's a cert, I [B] arrived home in my birthday [E] suit.
Now I've knocked around in [B] the country and town, [E] full of eating and many [B] that's true.
[E] But none can compare with [A] the scars that I'd bear, when [B] I pulled on that buck [E] kangaroo.
