1969, a man walked on the moon

We wanna have a school soon”
D                                           G                    C
6 silver bullet caravans came up from Alice Springs
D
With teachers, blackboards, books and pens
G                            C
And lots of other things

Happy Birthday Ti Tree, we’ve all come a long way

Verse 2:
D   
Our parents and our grandparents
G                            C
Learnt to read and write
D
Listened to their teachers
G                        C
Until they got it right
D
They wanted bigger classrooms
G                        C
But they had to wait
D                                                          G   C
Until they built a brand new school in 1978
