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