    Thank 
    you. 

    John Butler has 

    entered the building. 

    We all lost 
    you there for a minute, 

    didn't we? 

    Yes, isn't that funny? 

    Follow the gazes. 

    That's 
    John. 

    In the middle of the song, 

    we're just looking out 

    and everyone's go
    ing... 

    It's 
    happened a lot on this 

    tour. 

    We were checking 
    at the airport 

    the 
    other day 

    and 
    I was talking 
    to the guy 

    and he 
    was, you know, yes 
    ma 'am, 

    please put your 
    bags on 

    and 
    you're a 
    bit overweight. 

    I mean, the baggage 
    was. 

    No, 
    and he put the 
    bags through 


    and then he suddenly 
    went... 

    And 
    he went to the woman 

    next to him. 

    It's John Butler. 

    And I watched 
    him 

    and he 
    just sort of forgot about 
    me. 

    like 
    I'm done 

    There's 
    your boarding pass miss 

    and and 
    he just 
    sat there 

    and 
    he was visibly 
    shaking his 
    boots 

    and John 
    came 

    It's 
    the 
    nex
    t in line. 
    He goes 

    Can I 
    help you sir? 

    We'd 
    like to 
    invite John 
    on 
    stage 

    to play 
    a 
    song for 
    us 

    this 
    is sung by 
    Paul 
    Kelly 

    and 
    Kev Carmody 


    Gather 
    round 
    people, 

    let 
    me tell 
    you 
    a story 

    An 
    eight 
    year long 
    story 
    of 
    power 
    and 
    pride 

    Brit
    ish 
    Lord 
    Vestey 
    and 

    Vincent 
    Langaree 

    were 
    op
    posite 
    men, 

    on 
    op
    posite 
    sides 


    See, 
    Vestey 
    was fat, 

    full 
    of 
    money 
    and muscle 

    Beef 
    was his 
    business, 

    broad 
    was his 
    door 

    Vin
    cent 
    was 
    lame, 
    he 
    spoke 
    very 
    little 

    He 
    had 
    no bank 
    bal
    ance, 

    hard 
    dirt 
    was his 
    floor 

    From 
    little 
    things, 
    big 
    things 
    grow 

    From 
    little 
    things, 

    big 
    things 
    grow 

    Gor
    inji 
    were 
    work
    ing for 

    noth
    ing 
    but 
    ration
    s 

    For 
    once 
    they had 
    gathered 

    the 
    wealth 
    of 
    the 
    land 

    And 
    daily 
    the 
    pres
    sures got 

    tighter 
    and 
    tighter 

    Garinger 
    decided 
    they 
    must 
    take 
    a stand 

    They 
    got 
    their 
    swags 
    and 
    they 

    star
    ted 
    off 
    walk
    ing 

    And 
    at 
    Waddy 
    Creek 
    they 

    sat 
    themselves 
    down 

    Now 
    it 
    don't 
    sound 
    like 
    much 

    but 
    they 
    sure 
    got 
    tons 
    talking 

    Back 
    at 
    the homestead 
    and 

    then 
    in the town 

    From 
    little 
    things, 
    big 
    things 
    grow 



    Ves
    timan 
    said, 

    look 
    I'll double 
    your wages 

    Sev
    en quid 
    a 
    week, 

    you'll 
    have 
    in your 
    hand 

    Vin
    cent 
    said, 
    nah 
    -uh, 

    we 
    ain't talk
    ing about 
    wages 

    We're 
    sit
    ting 
    right 
    here 

    till 
    we 
    get our 
    land 

    Ves
    timan 
    rode 
    and 
    the 
    Ves

    timan 
    thundered 

    You don't 
    stand 
    a chance 

    of 
    a 
    stingering 
    snark 

    And 
    then 
    said 
    if we 
    fall, 

    oth
    ers 
    are 
    rising 

    From 
    little 
    things 
    big 
    things

    So 
    Vincent 
    Langar
    i, 

    he 
    boarded 
    an air
    plane, 

    he 
    landed 
    in 
    Sydney, 
    a big city 
    of lights. 

    And 
    daily 
    he 
    went 
    round 

    softly 
    speak
    ing 
    his 
    story 

    To 
    all 
    types 
    of men, 

    from 
    all 
    walks 
    of life 

    And 
    Vincent 
    sat 
    down 

    with 
    those 
    big 
    politicians 

    They 
    said, 
    look 
    mate, 
    this 
    affair, 

    it's a 
    matter of 
    state 

    Let 
    us 
    sort 
    it 
    out 

    while 
    your 
    people 
    go 
    hungry 

    Vincent 
    said, 
    nuh -uh, 

    we know 
    how 
    to 
    waste 

    From 
    little 
    things, 
    big 
    things 
    grow 

    From 
    little 
    things,

    From 
    little 
    things, 
    big 
    things

    From 
    little 
    things, 

    big 
    thing
    s 
    grow 

    Vincent 
    Langari, 

    he 
    re
    turned 
    in 
    an airplane 

    Back 
    to 
    his country, 

    once 
    more to 
    sit down 

    He 
    told 
    his 
    people, 

    let the 
    stars 
    keep 
    on 
    turnin' 

    We got 
    friends 
    in the 
    south, 

    in the 
    cities 
    and towns 

    Eight 
    years 
    went 
    by, 

    eight 
    long 
    years 
    of 
    waitin' 

    Till 
    one 
    day a 
    tall stranger 

    appeared 
    in 
    the land 

    His 
    name 
    was Whitlam, 

    and 
    he came 
    to great 
    ceremony 

    Through 
    Vincent's 
    fingers, 

    throwing a 
    handful 
    of 
    sand 

    From 
    little 
    things, 
    big 
    things 
    grow 

    From 
    little 
    things, 
    big 
    things 
    grow 

    From 
    little 
    things, 
    big 
    things 
    grow 

    From 
    little 
    things, 
    big 
    things 
    grow 



    But 
    this 
    is 
    a story 
    of 
    Vincent 
    Langar
    i 

    But 
    this 
    is 
    a story 
    of 
    something

    more 

    Our 
    power 
    and 
    priv
    ilege

    not

    Who 
    know 
    where 
    they stand 

    And

    their

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      "

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
