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
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official COLD CHISEL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
