FLAMES TREES- COLD CHISEL Transcribed by Steven Tait
[INTRO] G D G D
[Verse 1]
G D
KIDS OUT DRIVING SATURDAY AFTERNOON JUST PASS ME BY
G A D
AND I`M JUST SAVOURING FAMILIAR SIGHTS
G D
WE SHARED SOME HISTORY THIS TOWN AND I
G A Gbm G
AND I CANT STOP THAT LONG FORGOTTEN FEELING OF HURT
G A D
ITS TIME TO BOOK A ROOM AND STAY THE NIGHT
G D
NUMBER ONE IS TO FIND SOME FREINDS TO SAY "YOUR DOING WELL"
G A D
AFTER ALL THIS TIME YOU BOYS LOOK JUST THE SAME
G D
NUMBER TWO IS THE HAPPY HOUR IN ONE OF TWO HOTELS
G A Gbm G
SETTLE IN TO PLAY DO YOU "REMEMBER SO AND SO"
G A D
NUMBER THREE IS NEVER SAY HER NAME
[Chorus]
G D Em
OH THE FLAME TREES WILL BLIND A WEARY DRIVER
G A D
AND THERES NOTHING ELSE COULD SET FIRE TO THIS TOWN
G A Bm D
THERES NO CHANGE THERES NO PACE EVERYTHINGS WITHIN ITS PLACE
G A D
JUST MAKES IT HARDER TO BELIEVE SHE WONT BE AROUND
[Verse 2]
G D
OH! WHO NEEDS THAT SENTIMENTAL BULLSHIT.. ANYWAY
G D
TAKES MORE THAN JUST A MEMORY TO MAKE ME CRY
G D
AND I`M HAPPY JUST TO SIT HERE ROUND A TABLE WITH OLD FREINDS
G D
AND SEE WHICH ONE OF US CAN TELL THE BIGGEST LIES
G D
AND THERES A GIRL, SHES FALLING IN LOVE NEAR WHERE THE PIANOLA STANDS
G D
WITH A YOUNG LOCAL FACTORY AUTOWORKER JUST HOLDING HANDS
G Gbm A
AND I`M WONDERING IF HE`LL GO OR IF HE`LL STAY
F C F C D
DO YOU REMEMBER NOTHING STOPPED US ON THE FIELD IN OUR DAY
[Chorus]
