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

AA Piano Chord 
                                       EE Piano Chord 

The kids are driving and Saturday afternoon just passed me by
AA Piano Chord 
                    EE Piano Chord 

I'm just savouring familiar sights
AA Piano Chord 
                      EE Piano Chord 

We shared some history, this town and I
A            B                G#m               Av
And I can't stop that long-forgotten feeling of her
AA Piano Chord 
                  BB Piano Chord 
             EE Piano Chord 

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:
AA Piano Chord 
              BB Piano Chord 
             F#mF#m Piano Chord 

And oh the flame trees'll blind a weary driver
Av                B                E
And there's nothing that can set fire to this town
AA Piano Chord 
                 BB Piano Chord 
         C#mC#m Piano Chord 
                EE Piano Chord 

There's no change, there's no pace, everything within its place,
AA Piano Chord 
          BB Piano Chord 
                    EE Piano Chord 

Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around

AA Piano Chord 
                              EE Piano Chord 

Oh, who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway
AA Piano Chord 
                                   EE Piano Chord 

It takes more than just a memory to make me cry
AA Piano Chord 
                                   EE Piano Chord 

And I'm happy just to sit here at a table with old friends
AA Piano Chord 
                                                 EE Piano Chord 

And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies
AA Piano Chord 
                                        EE Piano Chord 

And there's a girl, she's fallin' in love near where the pianola stands
AA Piano Chord 
                                       EE Piano Chord 

With a young local factory auto worker -- just holdin' hands
AA Piano Chord 
                G#mG#m Piano Chord 
             BB Piano Chord 

And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay
CC Piano Chord 
         GG Piano Chord 
              CC Piano Chord 
                 GG Piano Chord 
            DD Piano Chord 
    EE Piano Chord 

Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field in our day
