[Verse 1]
G D G
Reg Evans was a renaissance man
G C G D
A rackateer, and an actor and good with his hands
G D G C
He built a cradle with them, for a son of a friend
G D G
And so a tradition began
G D G
As the fame of that cradle grew wide
G C G D
It became the communities' badge of shared pride
G D G C
To have the small sons and daughters spend a night in its shelter
G D G
And to have their names carved on its side
[Chorus]
C G Em
Hush-a bye baby don't you weep
A D
Reg Evans' cradle is gonna rock you to sleep
C G Em
And maybe tomorrow when you open your eyes
A D G C
From the flames a Phoenix will rise again
|G |C |G |C |G |D |
Again
[Verse 2]
G D G
When the bushfire reached St. Andrews town
G C G D
Reg Evans died when his house was burned down
G D G C
And in the grim aftermath, of the fire deadly path
G D G
No trace of that cradle was found
G D G
It was far from black Saturday's flames
G C G D
Sheltering another small child once again
G D G C
And when it returned, back to where it belonged
G D G
On it's side was carved a new name
[Chorus]
C G Em
Hush-a bye baby don't you weep
A D
Reg Evans' cradle is gonna rock you to sleep
C G Em
And maybe tomorrow when you open your eyes
A D G C
From the flames a Phoenix will rise again
|G |C |G |C |G |D |
Again
