Big Bad Bushranger Chords

N.C. (spoken)
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 books.
Well, here's a little song about a bloke so bad and mean.
An evil, vicious outlaw, the worst there's ever been.
 
[Verse 1]
D                                                       A
Oh, out in the bush where the kookaburras fly where the gum trees reach to the clear blue sky
D                                                   A                  D
There's a cave in the hillside where I hide, I'm a big, bad bush-bushranger
D                                                 A
Deep in the cave there's a big, black hole that's filled to the brim with locks of gold
D                                             A                 D
And diamond rings and things I stole, I'm a big, bad bush-bush ranger
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G                      D                  A           D
Late at night when the sun goes down and everyone's asleep in town
G                           D                    A                 D
I count all my money in my dressing gown, I'm a big, bad bush-bushranger
 
[Chorus]
D
I'm a bush, I'm a bush, I'm a bush-bush ranger
A
Runnin' from the law, livin' on danger
D
Bang, bang, hands up, stick 'em up straight
A                          D
I'm a big, bad bush-bush ranger
 
[Verse 2]
D                                               A
Got a rope and a whip and a gun, of course, I'm chased everywhere by the bush police-force
D                                                           A                     D
While I ride through the night on my big black horse, I'm a big, bad, bush-bush ranger
D                                       A
And when the townsfolk see me ride they lock all the doors and stay inside
D                                            A                    D
And find a place that's safe to hide, I'm a big, bad, bush-bush ranger
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G                               D                  A                   D
I ride thirty miles through the wind and hail to hold up a bank or the Royal Mail
G                          D                       A                   D
I give all my money to my girlfriend, Gayle, I'm a big, bad, bush-bush ranger
 
[Chorus]
D
I'm a bush, I'm a bush, I'm a bush-bush ranger
A
Runnin' from the law, livin' on danger
D
Bang, bang, hands up, stick 'em up straight
A                       D
I'm a big, bad bush-bushranger
 
[Verse 3]
D                                               A
I sleep every mornin' till half past nine, have m'brekky in bed, then rise and shine
D                                               A
Get dressed in my best for my life of crime,
A                       D
I'm a big, bad bush-bushranger
 
G                                          D                     A
I'm loved by the married woman everywhere, while their silly old husbands curse and swear
D                          A
I haven't got a worry and I haven't got a care
A                       D
I'm a big, bad bush-bushranger
 
G                                           A
I'm a terror of North-West New South Wales, of small bush towns and outback trails
D                    A
I don't like judges and I don't like gaols
A                       D
I'm a big, bad bush-bushranger
 
[Chorus]
D
I'm a bush, I'm a bush, I'm a bush-bush ranger
A
Runnin' from the law, livin' on danger
D
Bang, bang, hands up, stick 'em up straight
A                       D
I'm a big, bad bush-bushranger
 
D
I'm a bush, I'm a bush, I'm a bush-bush ranger
A
Runnin' from the law, livin' on danger
D
Bang, bang, hands up, stick 'em up straight
A                       D
I'm a big, bad bush-bushranger
