Tonalité : D major
Verse 1
D
A
D
She was built back in the thirties
A
in an era where things were made to last
Em
And her faded rough complexion
A
D
seems to whisper stories of her past
Like when Nann and Pop were caught
and they'd meet there and
G
dance the night away
A
To the piano and the fiddle
playing all the modern tunes of yesterday
D
Smiling faces, crowded dance floor,
A
and no one had much money way back then.
Em
In the days of horse and sulkies,
A
D
a feather dipped in him served as a pen.
And in 39 the war came,
G
old Pop was here to answer the call.
A
And he gathered with his comrades
D
on the dance floor of the old town hall.
As a child my mother told me
A
how men are knitted jumpers for the war
Em
They met daily at the hall
A
making sure their fighting
D
soldiers would be warm
And a bloke with projector
and newsreel
G
shown the weekend
Am
A
To try and ease the pain of wives,
D
missing husbands and their friends
Then in 45 the word rang out,
A
the war was over, men were coming home
Em
So we all met on the dance floor
A
to discuss and organise
D
the welcome show
Then a bus pulled up, a crowd ran out,
the people held their loved
G
ones like before
A
And Poppy kissed and held my daddy
D
for the first time in the old town hall
G
A
D
Yes, the old town hall is still standing
G
A
D
As it has now for sixty years or more
G
A
And although her things are twisted
D
and they creep a bit
E
There's ease left in her yet mind,
A
that's for sure
G
A
She's weathered fire and storms,
D
and even war -time
G
And the memories are en
A
D
tombed inside her walls
G
A
Yes, she's part of our old
Bm
Australian heritage
D
G
Em
That building called
A
D
A
the Old Town Hall
D
The Howsie on the Tuesday
night was all the go,
A
it really brought them in
Em
And I can still see that old caller
A
full of numbered marbles
D
out the kerrow tin
Ten shillings was a worthy prize to win
G
for killing least a week ahead
A
And the si lence only broken
with the right mate
D
if the game came to an end
The air in Cracker Night was special round
A
the bonfire which eared us up she went
Em
Old log s and baldy tyres
A
and one year we tossed on
D
Pop's old army tent
And we stood between the dunnies
so we weren't caught short
G
to answer nature's call
A
Then the beer flowed
and the music shook the rafters
D
of the old town hall
G
A
D
Yes, the old town hall is still standing
G
A
D
And it has now for sixty years or more
G
A
And although her things are twisted
D
and like cranky fish
E
There's tears left in her head,
A
Mike, that's for sure
G
A
She's weathered fire and storm
D
to leave her wartime
G
A
And the memories are entombed
D
inside her wall
G
A
Yes, she's part of our old
Bm
Australian heritage
D
G
Em
That building called the
A
D
Old Town Hall
A
G
Yeah, she's part of our
A
Bm
old Australian family
G
Em
That building called the
A
D
Old Town Hall
Em
A
D
That building called the Old Town Hall
Em
A
That building called the Old Town Hall
