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