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