Flame Trees Chords & Lyrics by Cold Chisel
Flame Trees
guitar chords lyrics
Intro: A E A E
A B E
The kids are driving and Saturday afternoon just passed me by
A B E
I'm just savouring familiar sights
A B 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
A B E
Number 1 is to find some friends and say "you're doing well --
A B E
After all this time you boys look just the same"
A B E
Number 2 is the Happy Hour at one of two hotels
A B G#m Av
And settle in to play "Do you remember so-and-so"
A B E
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 B E
Oh, who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway
A B E
It takes more than just a memory to make me cry
A B E
And I'm happy just to sit here at a table with old friends
A B E
And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies
A B B
And there's a girl, she's fallin' in love near where the pianola stands
A B 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
