Verse
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
