A Reason For It All
Eric Bogle
G
(início)
G Am Summer's smiling 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 dying D G No sunshine sends the shadows flying Am No children gather round her crying 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 C D G I don't want to hear, I don't want to hear it at all Lonely old people ain't my concern D G From dust we come, to dust we return C D G And that's all there is, don't look for a reason in it all
Verse 3
G Am Springtime's come at last to Sydney D G Flowers are blooming in the city Am In all their multicoloured glory D G They rise to greet the year Am Memories in shame recalling D G Footsteps on the front porch falling Am Voices through the window calling D G "Is anybody there?" Am Clare Campbell's lost and lonely soul D G Is a long, long way from here
Tenor Chorus
G Don't talk to me about life's seasons D G Don't ask me for answers, don't ask me for reasons C D G I don't want to hear, I don't want to hear it at all From the moment we're born, we start to die D G A man can go crazy if he keeps asking why C D G That's just how it is, don't look for a reason at all
Baritone Chorus
G Can't you understand what I'm trying to say D G There must an answer, there must be a way C D G To make some sense of it, to try to find a reason for it all We are not born just so we can die D G There must be an answer and we've got to try C D G To make some sense of it; to try to find a reason for it all [Baritone Chorus](Sung simultaneously as the last Tenor Chorus is sung) G Can't you understand what I'm trying to say D G There must an answer, there must be a way C D G To make some sense of it, to try to find a reason for it all We are not born just so we can die D G There must be an answer and we've got to try C D G To make some sense of it; to try to find a reason for it all
Ending
C D G That's just how it is, don't look for a reason at all C D G Ah, there must a way, there must be reason for it all
