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