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