G Am7 G/B C   (2x)

G               Am7               G/B            C

Standing at the bus stop with my shopping in my hands

            G             Am7            G/B              C

And I'm overhearing elder ladies as the rumours start to fly

                         G                   Am7

You can hear them in the school yard, in the scrap yard

       G/B              C

In the chip shop, in the phone box 

       G                 Am7               G/B            C

In the pool hall, at the shoe store, every corner turned around

                  G                   Am7

It started with a school girl who was running

        G/B                 C

Running home to her Mam and Dad

                  G               Am7                G/B            C

Told them she was playing, in the change room of the local football side

                   G                    Am7               G/B

They said tell us again, she told them again, tell us the truth, they found 

             C

it hard to believe

                     G                      Am7            G/B

'Cause he taught our Steve, he even trained me, taught our John who's a 

          C

father of three

      Am7               Fmaj7     C

Only takes one tree, to make 1000 matches

      Am7

Only takes one match, 

   Fmaj7  C        G     Am7  G/B  C

to burn A thousaaaaand trees

       G    Am7 G/B  C

A thousand trees

                  G

You see it in the classroom

       Am7

In the swimming pool

          G/B                 C

Where the match stick men are made

       G

At the scout's hall

       Am7

At the football

          G/B               C

Where the wise we trust are paid

                    G

They all honour his name

                     Am7

He did a lot for the game

        G/B                       C

Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates

            G                  Am7

But they're ripping them down, stamping the ground

G/B                             C

Picture gathers dust behind the bar in the lounge

      Am7              Fmaj7           C

Only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches

      Am7                Fmaj7  C       G    Am7  G/B  C

Only takes one match, to burn a thousaaaand trees

       G    Am7  G/B  C

A thousand trees

D       Fmaj7          C

 Wake up, and smell the rain

D               Fmaj7    C

 Shake up, he's back to stay

D                   Fmaj7 C

 He hasn't been on a holiday

D                      Fmaj7

 Growing seeds don't believe

    C     G   Am7  G/B  C

Why he's beeeeen awaaaaay

G Am7 G/B C   x3

        G           Am7            G/B            C

In the school yard, changing room, playing field, bathroom

G          Am7            G/B           C

Phone box, office blocks, corners turn around

                       G                  Am7

They keep doubting the flame, tossing the blame

        G/B                       C

Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates

            G                  Am7

And they're ripping them down, stamping the ground

G/B                         C

Picture gathers dust in the bar in the lounge

      Am7               Fmaj7           C

Only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches

      Am7                Fmaj7  C       G    Am7  G/B  C

Only takes one match, to burn a thousaaaand trees

       G    Am7  G/B C

A thousand trees

       G    Am7  G/B C

A thousand trees

       G  Am7   G/B  C

A thousaaaand treeeees
