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: A E A E
A E
The kids are driving and Saturday 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 G#m Av
And I can't stop that long-forgotten feeling of her
A B E
In time to book a room and stay 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:
A B F#m
And oh the flame trees'll blind a weary driver
Av B E
And there's nothing that can set fire to this town
A B C#m E
There's no change, there's no pace, everything within its place,
A B E
Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around
A E
Oh, who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway
A E
It takes more than just a memory to make me cry
A E
And I'm happy just to sit here at a table with old friends
A E
And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies
A E
And there's a girl, she's fallin' in love near where the pianola stands
A E
With a young local factory auto worker -- just holdin' hands
A G#m B
And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay
C G C G D E
Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field in our day
CHORUS
