Flame Trees

A    E    A    E


[Verse 1]

A                                 
The kids are driving and Saturday 
      E
afternoon just passed me by
A                    E
I'm just savouring familiar sights
A                      E
We shared some history, this town 
and I
A            B                
And I can't stop that 
G#m               A
long-forgotten feeling of her
A                  B         
In time to book a room and stay 
    E      Esus4 E
tonight


[Verse 2]

A                                 
Number 1 is to find some friends 
   E
and say "you're doing well --
A                                 
After all this time you boys look 
E
just the same"
A                             E
Number 2 is the Happy Hour at one of
 two hotels
A          B               
And settle in to play "Do you 
     G#m           A
remember so-and-so"
A           B             E     
Number 3 is never say her name
Esus4 E

[Chorus]

           A              B       
And oh the flame trees'll blind a 
      F#m
weary driver
            A                B 
And there's nothing that can set 
               E    Esus4 E
fire to this town
             A                 B  
There's no change, there's no 
       C#m                E
pace, everything within its place,
               A          B       
Just makes it harder to believe 
             E         Esus4 E
that she won't be around


[Bridge]

A                            
Oh, who needs that sentimental 
  E
bullshit anyway
A                                 
It takes more than just a memory 
  E
to make me cry
A                                 
And I'm happy just to sit here at 
  E
a table with old friends
A                                 
And see which one of us can tell 
                E
the biggest lies
A                                 
And there's a girl, she's fallin' 
       E
in love near where the pianola 
stands
A                             
With a young local factory auto 
         E
worker - just holdin' hands
          A                G#m    
And I'm wondering if he'll go or 
         B
if he'll stay
C         G              C      
Do you remember, nothing stopped
           G            D    E
 us on the field in our day


[Chorus]

           A              B       
And oh the flame trees'll blind a 
      F#m
weary driver
            A                 B
And there's nothing that can set 
                E   Esus4 E
fire to this town
             A                 B  
There's no change, there's no 
       C#m                E
pace, everything within its place,
               A          B       
Just makes it harder to believe 
             E         Esus4 E
that she won't be around


[Chorus]

           A              B       
And oh the flame trees'll blind a 
      F#m
weary driver
            A                B 
And there's nothing that can set 
               E   Esus4 E
fire to this town
             A                 B  
There's no change, there's no 
       C#m                E
pace, everything within its place,
               A          B       
Just makes it harder to believe 
             E         Esus4 E
that she won't be around
