Christmas morning was a nightmare as Cyclone
Tracy struck
It ripped apart the buildings like an atom bomb
had struck
It twisted iron girders and flattened all the trees
The might of such a cyclone must be seen to be
believed
7 7    7    7  -8  7   7  -7-7  -7  -7  6
Many boats put out to sea Very few returned
 -6    -6   -6 -5   6  5    5    5 -4  -4  -4
Boats were pounded on the rocks or in the huge
 -4  5 b6   6
seas over-turned
REPEAT CHORUS

Australia was shocked and saddened as the news 
came through
A devastated city that must be built anew
For suffering and heartbreak to happen in this way
A natural disaster to come on Christmas day
REPEAT CHORUS
