FLAME TREES by Cold Chisel

An old Aussie favourite by ex-mega band Cold Chisel.  No big surprises
here, just a great tune.  Enjoy.

Intro:                

             
The kids are d

              
riving and Sat

            
urday afternoo

n just passed 

me by
             
I'm just savou

       
ring familiar 

sights
             
We shared some

         
 history, this

 town and I
            
And I can't st

              
op that long-f

           
orgotten feeli

      
ng of her
             
In time to boo

             
k a room and s

     
tay tonight

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


CHORUS:
             
And oh the fla

             
me trees'll bl

            
ind a weary dr


iver
            
And there's no

              
thing that can

             
 set fire to t

     
his town
             
There's no cha

              
nge, there's n

            
o pace, everyt

#            
hing within it

    
s place,
              
Just makes it 

            
harder to beli

              
eve that she w

     
on't be around


             
Oh, who needs 

              
that sentiment

   
al bullshit an

yway
             
It takes more 

              
than just a me

        
mory to make m

e cry
             
And I'm happy 

              
just to sit he

        
re at a table 

with old frien

ds
             
And see which 

              
one of us can 

              
tell the bigge

        
st lies
             
And there's a 

              
girl, she's fa

             
llin' in love 

near where the

 pianola stand

s
             
With a young l

              
ocal factory a

            
uto worker -- 

just holdin' h

ands
             
And I'm wonder

             
ing if he'll g

#            
o or if he'll 

 
stay
            
Do you remembe

             
r, nothing sto

              
pped us on the

             
 field in our 

    
day
