The very worst bush band in the world





updated (words are slightly different)

          G                                               F                         Am
I was rushing between distant towns hungry tired and grim
                    C                          F                        G
when bad weather came and made me chuck it in
             G                                            F                           Am
Some buildings and a single light, i parked there in the street
              C               F              G
and just sat there until i fell asleep

   G                                                      F                   Am
forced out into the pouring rain cause i just had to pee
                    C                        F                     G
when some joker braved the storm to rescue me
        G                                                 F                     Am
he dragged me into somewhere - an old and sturdy shed
         C                          F                 G
with lights and people sitting being fed (and)

chorus
        F                                           C
the very worst bush band in the world (1 or more times)
        F                                      C   
the world's worst singers the world's worst players
       Am              G                     C
but ancient folk magic made it work (that old folk magic..some old folk magic...)
       Am              G                    C
but ancient folk magic made it work (that old folk magic..some old folk magic...)

he sat me with some people who smiled at me or waved
and beer and pav just magically appeared
it seemed so unbelievable on such a wicked night
oh eff me days i could not believe my ears

before long i was swingin and swayin to the sound
as everybody danced before the band
and though it sounded horrible i could not help myself
some magic seemed to drag me by the hand (it was)

chorus

then suddenly i woke up still sitting in my car
the buildings gone the night sky filled with stars
and though i passed it off as just a dream to leave behind
that awful sound keeps running through my mind

chorus
