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