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
