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