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
