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