More chords by Eric Bogle

Genre: folk, country, ballad


[Verse 1]
G Am
Summers smilin' on the city
D G
Another lovely day in Sydney
Am
Sunshine pouring down like honey
D G
In a golden waterfall
Am
But in the room where Clare is dyin'
D G
No sunshine sends the shadows flyin'
Am
No children gather round her cryin'
D G
There's no one there at all
Am
Except perhaps for the man who sees
D G
Each little sparrow fall

[Chorus Tenor]
G
Don't talk to me about lonely souls crying
D G
Dark quiet rooms with old people dying
C D G
I don't want to hear, I don't want to hear it at all

Tired old people die alone every day
D G
Don't blame me, I didn't make it that way
C D G
That's just how it is, don't look for a reason at all

[Verse 2]
G Am
Winter weeping on the city
D G
A wet and windy day in Sydney
Am
Raindrops rolling fat and heavy
D G
Down Clare's window pane
Am
The raindrops on the tin roof beating
D G
Disturbs the rats as they are feeding
Am
Back to the nest they all go creeping
D G
Leaving Clare alone again
Am
It's been a long and lonely time
D G
Since Clare could hear the rain

[Tenor Chorus]
G
Don't talk to me about the meaning of life
D G
Don't sing your songs that cut like a knife
