Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Am]I was born in the bush
near [G]old Alice Springs
As [F]far as you can get from [Am]the sea
My mother was a fighter, my [G]daddy was too
He never [F]knew a bastard like [Am]me

[Verse 2]
My [Am]brothers and sisters
[G]scattered like the wind
From the [F]desert and
the hills to the [Am]sea
Much too [C]young,
many died but I [G]have survived
So luck[F]y a bastard like m[Am]e

[Verse 3]
[Am]Oo h[G], so l[F]ucky a bastard like me[Am]
I [C]have survived a hell [G]of a ride
Nobody [F]knows a bastard like me
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[C]Call me a stray, [G]a dog every day
[F]Call me a mon[G]grel [F]half-breed
[Am]And And [C]mongrels are strong,
so if [G]you take me on
Watch [F]out for a bastard like [Am]me

[Verse 5]
[Am]Ooh, [G]you better wat[F]ch out
for a bastard like [Am]me
I [C]fought all the way, I [G]fight every day
You can[F]'t stop a bastard like

[Verse 6]
I've [C]taken my licks, I've [G]taken my kicks

I [C]wear the scars, I [G]earned them so hard
Every [F]day in the lucky coun[Am]try

[Verse 7]
[Am]Oo h[G], every da[F]y in the
lucky coun[Am]try
I've [C]taken my licks,
I've [G]kicked against the [F]bricks
Oh, try and stop a bas[Am]tard like me
