_ _ _ [Em] A few miles inland from the [E] glitter and bustle [A] of the Gold Coast lies the serene beauty of
[D] Springbrook Gorge, [D] a perfect [A] setting for a [D] haunting new song called The Olive Tree. _
It was [G] specially composed for Judith by our good friend Tom [Gbm] Springfield, who also wrote
Georgie Girl and several other [Bm] wonderful songs for us.
And while Judith sang, [Gm] we boiled our billy and thought back to Australia's [Bm] early days,
the days of the gold rush [G] and the [Db] swaggies.
_ _ [Ab] First, Olive Tree.

_ _ _ _ in that [Em] bright land _ _ _ _ _ [Gbm] where grows the olive _ [Bm] tree. _ _ _ _

_ _ _ When first we left to England's shore, such yarns as we [Dm] were told,
[F] as how folks in _ [Bb] Australia _ _ _ _ could pick [C] up lumps [F] of gold.
[Bb] So when we [F] got to Melbourne town, we were ready [Dm] soon to slip,
[F]
hanging even with the _ [Bb] captain. _
_ _ [F] We scuttled [N] from fish.
