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