C
There's a place that I go
          F
There's a tree a swan and I know
         C
That the darkest they surround him
           F
Since they took his wife and children
       C
And my friends were there in the old days
       F
Ah but now theyve gone their own way
                           G
And the swan waits for his child-ren


Chorus
                        C
(And) the world carries on
        Em                       Am
And the visitors come with their bags
                    F
And their colourful rags
                   C         Em
And the only thing that will remain
     Am             F
Is a big tree and a lone swan
     C          Em
When we finally give in
     Am         F
Hope we meet in heaven


Bridge

C
In lazy days
   Am
In summer haze
     F                  G
We'd laugh beneath that big tree's gaze
    C              Am
And having made up all the tunes
     F              G
We'd climple fridle tidal vroom


C
The tree stands watching always
          F
While the swan he thinks of old days
      C
He'll never join a new crowd
       F
'cause loyal and strong and too proud
                          G
As he waits there for his chil-dren
