[A]
In our sunshine state of Queensland Nature's beauties do abound
[E] From the Gulf and Tabor lands Up north, south to [A] the Darling Downs
But my story's of a mountain Though a legend brought to shame
[E] In our famous Glasshouse Mountains Tibragargan is [A] its name
[D] Tibragargan, Tibragargan You [A] look such a stately sight
As [E] you tower above the highway [D] Thousands pass [A] you day and night
Oh, [D] I wonder if there's many [A] Know your legend just like me
As [E] you stand in somber silence [D] Sadly watching out [A] to sea
Now Tibragargan was the father Of the tribes throughout the land
[E] And Beewar was the maiden Fair who'd given [A] him her hand
They had many, many children Dreamtime legends do [E] recall
Canaran was the eldest A warrior [A] straight and tall
[D] Tibragargan, Tibragargan [A] Taught his children wrong from right
[E] And kept watch for many dangers [D] That might threaten [A] day or night
[D] Then one day Tibragargan [A] Knew a great flood there would be
[E] For he'd seen a mighty rising [D] Of the waters [A] out to sea
Said Tibragargan to Canaran Help mother Beewar get away
[E] And I will follow with ding-gang-gang And the others [A] now at play
But Canaran proved a coward And went safely on his own
[E] And left his mother there To face the dangers [A] all alone
[D] Now Tibragargan, Tibragargan [A] He grew angry at this sight
[E] And with Nullar Nullar in his hand He [D] struck Canaran [A] in his flight
[Em] [D] Tibragargan's shame was heavy [A] Had a son so cowardly
[E] And vowed to look upon him never [D] more But just [A] face out to sea
So if you pass our glasshouse mountains On the highway or by train
[E] In the West Coast, Neck Canaran Seems to hang his [A] head in shame
[Em] [A] Tibragargan keeps his promise And looks on his son no more
[E] That keeps on facing eastward To the mighty [A] ocean shore
[D] Tibragargan, Tibragargan You [A] look such a stately sight
[E] As you tower above the highway [D] Thousands pass you [A] day and night
Oh [D] I wonder if many know [A] your legend just like me
As [E] you stand in somber silence [D] Sadly watching out [A] to sea
