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