Flame Trees Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Kids out driving [G]Saturday
after[D]noon just pass me [G]by
And I'm just savouring famil[D]iar [G]sights
We shared some history,
[D]this town and[G] I
And I can't [A]stop that long-forgotten
feel[F#m]ing feeling of he[G]r
Time to book a [A]room to stay
tonight
[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]
Number one is to find some friends
[D]to say "you're doing [G]well
After all this time you boys look
[D]just [G]the same"
Number two is the happy
hour at [D]one of two hotels
[G]Settle in to pla[A]y "do you
[F#m]remem ber so and [G]so?"
Oh, and number three is
[A]never say her name
[D]

[Verse 3]
Oh, the [G]flame trees will [A]blind
the weary [Em]driver
And there's [G]nothing else could set
[A]fire to this tow[D]n
There's no [G]change,
there's no [A]pace
[Bm]Everything within its [D]place just
makes it [G]harder to [A]believe
That she won't [D]be around

[Verse 4]
[G]
But oh, who needs that sentimental bull[D]shit,
[G]anyway
Takes more than just a memory
to [D]make me cry
And I'm [G]happy just to sit here
round a table with [D]old friends
[G]And see which one of us
can tell the biggest lies
[D]

[Verse 5]
And there's [G]a girl just falling in love
where the pianola stand[D]s
With [G]her young local factory out-of-worker,
just just just [D]holding hands
And I'm won[G]dering if he'll
[F#m]go or if he'll stay
[A]

[Verse 6]
[Bb]
Do you [F]remember,
nothing [Bb]stopped us on [F]the field
In our [C]day

[Verse 7]
[D]Oh, the [G]flame trees will [A]blind
the weary [Em]driver
And there's [G]nothing else could set
[A]fire to this tow[D]n
There's no [G]change,
there's no [A]pace
[Bm]Everything within its [D]place just
makes it [G]harder to [A]believe
She won't [D]be around

[Verse 8]
Oh, [G]the flame trees will
[A]blind the weary [Em]driver
And there's [G]nothing else could set
[A]fire to this tow[D]n[G][D]
There's no [G]change,
there's no [A]pace
[Bm]Everything within its [D]place just
makes it [G]harder to [A]believe
She won't [D]be [G]around
