as the rumours start to fly
                       G           
You can hear em in the schoolyard,

in a scrapyard, in a chip shop,
     C                G           
in a phone box, in the pool hall, 
       Am               Bm    
at the shoe store, every corner 
          C
turned around


Verse 2
                  G

was running, running home to her 
       C
mum and dad
                      G          
She told them she was playing, in

the change room of her local 
            C
football side
                     G             
They said tell us again, so she 
       Am                          
told them again, they said tell us 
  Bm
the truth they
                  C
found it hard to believe
                    G              
cause he taught our steve, he even

Chorus
            Am                 Bm 
But it only takes one tree, to 
             C
make a thousand matches
        Am                  C      
It only takes one match, to burn a 
D
thousand trees, a thousand trees


Verse 3
                  G                
You see it in the classroom, in the
 Am                       Bm      
 swimming pool, where the 
          C
matchstick men are made
       G                  Am      
In the scouts hall, at the 
            Bm                C
football, where the wise we trust 
are paid
                  G                
They all honur his name, he did 
         Am
alot for the game
Bm
He got his name knocked up above the
 sports ground gates
              G                  
But now there ripping them down, 
Am                           Bm
stamping the ground, picture gathers
 dust
                     C
behind the bar in the lounge


Chorus
            Am                  Bm
But it only takes one tree, to 
            C
make a thousand matches
        Am                  C      
It only takes one match, to burn a 
D
thousand trees, a thousand trees

Wake up, smell the rain
D          C
Shake up he's back to stay
D             C
He hasnt been on a holiday
D                 Am       C    
His growing seeds dont believe 
             D
why he's been, yeaah

G   Am   Bm   C (x2)


Verse 4 (mellow)
            G             Am      
Away in the schoolyard, change 
   Bm              C
room, playing fields bathroom
G           Am             Bm   
Phonebox, office box, every 
          C
corner turned around,
                       G     
They keep doubting the flame, 
             Am
tossing the blame,
            Bm                    
He got his name knocked up above the
C
 sports ground gates,
        G                   Am
But now there ripping them down, 
stamping the ground,
Bm                      C
Picture gathers dust behind the bar 
in the lounge


Chorus
            Am                  Bm
But it only takes one tree, to 
            C
make a thousand matches,
        Am                  C      
It only takes one match, to burn a 
D
thousand treees.
