Chords for Steven Pigram - Dear Alistair

_ This is a _ _ _ _ _ song about an old Englishman come here back in the 80s.
_ _ _ All you mob will know him.
His name was Lord Alistair McAlpine and he _ _ bought up [E] big. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] He [Eb] did some good things.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [G] But it [C] was really _ _ amazing to watch at the time when he was here because he [F] _ _ put a lot of people in a spin.
I had this idea to write a song about the country singing to him like a big _ businessman that _ thinks he can own everything. _ _ _ _
The philosophy is that you can never own the country. _
_ Really.
You might have it on a bit of paper but you don't really own it.
_ So this is the country [G] singing to the big businessman at the time. _ _ _
[Ab] I tried to write it from that point of view. _ _ _
[E] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
I wrote it like a letter.
_ [Ab] _ _
A letter from the [Db] country.
Signed by the country. _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
I remember at the time _ we were getting together.
All the Aro people were getting together.
Roo Voo [Eb] Vee was called back then.
The [Db] corporation.
_ Fighting [Ab] to _ _
[Eb] get the country back. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] So I added on the yours sincerely at [Ab] the end.
_ _ _ With Roo Voo Vee being the country.
This is called Dear Alistair.

_ _ _ _ _ _ Dear [Abm] Alistair, _ [Db] you probably _ [Ab] don't know me. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ebm] But I've been _ [Ab] here since the [Db] _ _ dreaming [Ab] of time. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] Where the bend and [Db] meets the beach. _
[Ab] Hey, two _ twisted muddy creeks.
_ _ _ [Gb] My [Ab] _ father, [Db] _ _ children [Ab] of mine.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] Blendy Tugger for [Ab] the _ children of mine. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ebm] Well, I hear [Ab] _
that you're blown [Db] out by [Ab] my beauty.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ebm] Streaks [Bb] of white, _ [Db] _ fiery [Ab] reds and blues. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] My innocence _ _ [Eb] is all that [Db] I can cling to. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] I got no price.
