Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
(G major) As I stood by Mrs. (D major) Macquarie's chair
In the knowledge that Benalong
once stood (G major) there
A (D major) strange, chilling feeling came (G major) upon me
I seemed to hear a (D major) mournful song
The click of boomerangs as Benalong
(G major) Sang (D major) to his spirit the White Sea
(G major) Eagle (C major) (G major) (D major)
(G major) (C major) (G major) (D major)
(G major)
(D major) There (G major) was an eerie sense of history
on your own
I seemed haunted by the (D major) spirit
of the (G major) man named Benelong
And I (C major) couldn't help (E minor) thinking
of (A major) that (A minor) fateful day (D major)
The (A minor) day that Governor Philip (D major) came (A major) to stay (D major)
The day the white seagull flew away (G major)
The eagle flew (D major) up in (C major) to the (G major) sky
And its (C major) sword above (G major) the cliff
(D major) tops (G major) high
Screeched (D major) down its message to Benelong
(G major) Beware was (D major) the (C major) warning call
(G major) but the (C major) people ran (G major) off (D major) one and all
(G major) To (D major) see the white man's ships
as they sailed (G major) in
I couldn't help (D major) thinking that Be (C major) nelong
(G major) Nev (C major) er again (G major) sang the (D major) eagle's (G major) song
For he (D major) seemed just like a man
whose spirit left (G major) him
Doomed was (D major) he forevermore (C major)
(G major) He (C major) lost his (G major) way as he (D major) lost his law,
(G major) And the (D major) White Sea Eagle
sings its song alone. (G major)
There was an eerie sense of history,
aren't you wrong?
It seemed haunted by the (D major) spirit
of the (G major) man named (D major) Benelong.
(G major) And I (C major) couldn't help (E minor) thinking
of (A minor) that fateful day, (D major)
The (A minor) day that Governor Philip (D major) came to stay,
The day the white seagull flew away. (G major)
(C major) (G major) (D major)
(G major) (C major) (G major) (D major)
(G major) (C major) (G major)
