Tonalidad: A major
Verse 1
G
C
G
C
I will tell a story true,
D
though you may doubt me
G
C
And you may need a little salt to get it down
F
A coastal town improvement
D
To add some Outback
G
flavor to their town
C
They transported to the coast
D
a Nile old Gidgee,
G
C
Transplanted it within their civic pack.
F
It looked out of place
C
with tough old twisted branches,
G
And skies where stock had rubbed
C
against its back.
Well, they cared for it
D
and soon it started blooming
G
But the seeds that fell
C
lay dormant on the ground
F
Oh, the coastal trees and
C
shrubs around ignored it
D
And soon its leaves and branches
C
As it happened in this town
D
there lived a bushman
G
Who'd been ruined
C
by the hardships of a drought
F
And one day as he was strolling
C
through that parkland
G
C
He saw that tree and gave a joyful shout
So he went there every day
D
and dreamed beneath it
G
And somehow that old tree
C
just seemed to know
F
For it started blooming once again,
D
The seeds that fell at once
C
But the man was out of place,
D
just as the tree was
G
C
He was old and knew no other way of life
F
And his health was failing
C
through the smog pollution
G
And the knowledge of his hard
C
D
G
financial strife
C
F
C
G
C
D
So the bushman died beneath
E
the tree one evening
A
D
And it's strange to say within a week or
G
The seedlings and the
D
tree began to wither,
E
No matter what was done
A
to make them grow.
D
For the old tree had no
E
will to go on living,
A
Like the spirit -broken
D
bushman from the West.
G
He'd been brought there
D
by some relatives in kindness
D
the people thought they did their best
But where ringers boiled their quarts
E
beneath that old tree
A
D
And tied their bridal reins upon its limbs
G
There were bush -bikes leaned against it
D
And at night time there were parties
E
A
with their stubbies and their cans
D
Just the story of a tree
E
and one old bushman
A
who were taken from their home
D
against their will
G
D
And the moral of it is that very often,
A
D
G
D
It's well -intended kindness that can kill.
