[Verse 1]

F                                 
The kids are driving and Saturday 
     C
afternoon just passed me by
F                    C
I'm just savouring familiar sights
F                      C
We shared some history, this town and I
F            G                 Em    
And I can't stop that long-forgotten 
          F
feeling of her
F                  G             C      
In time to book a room and stay tonight
C


[Verse 2]

F                                    C
Number 1 is to find some friends and say
"you're doing well --
F                                 C
After all this time you boys look just 
the same"
F                             C
Number 2 is the Happy Hour at one of two
hotels
F          G                     Em    
And settle in to play "Do you remember 
      F
so-and-so"
F           G             C
Number 3 is never say her name


[Chorus]

          F              G             
And oh the flame trees'll blind a weary 
Dm
driver
           F                G         
And there's nothing that can set fire 
      C
to this town
            F                 G    
There's no change, there's no pace, 
    Am                C
everything within its place,
              F          G             
Just makes it harder to believe that she
      C
won't be around


[Bridge]

F                              C
Oh, who needs that sentimental bullshit 
anyway
F                                   C
It takes more than just a memory to make
me cry
F                                   
And I'm happy just to sit here at a 
C
table with old friends
F                                    
And see which one of us can tell the 
            C
biggest lies
F                                    
And there's a girl, she's fallin' in 
   C
love near where the pianola stands
F                                      C
With a young local factory auto worker -
just holdin' hands
         A                G#m      
And I'm wondering if he'll go or if 
      G
he'll stay
E          B              E             
Do you remember, nothing stopped us on 
   D#            Bb    C
the field in our day


[Chorus]

          F              G             
And oh the flame trees'll blind a weary 
Dm
driver
           F                 G        
And there's nothing that can set fire 
       C
to this town
            F                 G    
There's no change, there's no pace, 
    Am                C
everything within its place,
              F          G             
Just makes it harder to believe that she
      C
won't be around

And oh the flame trees'll blind a weary
