G Am7 G Standing at the bus stop with my shopping in C my hands G Am7 G And I'm overhearing elder ladies as the rumours . C start to fly G Am7 You can hear them in the school yard, in the scrap yard G C In the chip shop, in the phone box G Am7 In the pool hall, at the shoe store, G C every corner turned around It started with a school girl Who was running Running home to her Mam and Dad Told them she was playing, in the change room of the local football side They said "tell us again", she told them again, "tell us the truth", they find it hard to believe Cause he taught our boy Steve, he even trained me, taught our John who's a father of three Chorus: Am7 Fmaj7 C Only takes one tree, to make 1000 matches Am7 Only takes one match, Fmaj7 C G Am7 G C to burn A thousaaaaand trees G Am7 G C A thousand trees You see it in the classroom In the swimming pool Where the match stick men are made At the scout's hall, at the football Where the wise we trust are paid They all honour his name, he did a lot for the game Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates But they're ripping them down, stamping the ground Picture gathers dust behind the bar in the lounge Chorus 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 C Why he's beeeeen awaaaaay From the school yard, changing room Playing fields, bathroom Phone box, office blocks Corners turn around They keep doubting the flame, tossing the blame Got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates And they're ripping them down, stamping the ground Picture gathers dust in the bar Chorus: Only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches Only takes one match, to burn A thousand trees A thousand trees A thousand trees A thousand trees | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm7 C D Fmaj7 G B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
