[Verse]
G
There's many great loves in history that we know about
But a tale of two lovers that was told to me
Makes me want to scream and shout
Am
Like Romeo and Juliet
D
A love story you won't forget
[Chorus]
(D) G C
Tell me why, tell me why did they destroy a love like that?
G C
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why did they do that?
[Verse]
G
Snowball Roach and Nellie Austin said that they loved each other well
Oh and I don't think that they argued often
But somebody broke the spell
Am
Yeah they broke the spell and broke their hearts
D
And they drifted far apart
[Chorus]
(D) G C
Tell me why, tell me why did they destroy a love like that?
G C
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why did they do that?
[Bridge]
(C) G
Well they tore two hearts apart
C
Left them bleeding all alone
F C G
And they threw them in a river made of stone
Oh they're dead now

G
He was from the Bundjalung clan and she was Kirrae Whurrong
He was a big strong fighting man and she was proud and strong
Am
And their love was great and their love was free
D
But what happened to them was a tragedy
[Chorus]
(D) G C
And tell me why, tell me why did they destroy a love like that?
G C
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why did they do that?
[Bridge]
(C) G
Well they tore two hearts apart
C
Left them bleeding all alone
F C G
And they threw them in the river made of stone
[Outro]
C G
Made of stone

(Yeah, they threw them in)
