Intro: G# A#m Cm C# x2

Verse:
G#		A#m		Cm		C#
Standing at the bus stop with my shopping in my hands
	    G#              A#m             Cm              C#    	
When im over hearing elder ladies as the rumours start to fly
                       G#                 A#m              Cm
You can hear em in the schoolyard, in a scrapyard, in a chip shop,
     C#                G#                  A#m               Cm              C#
in a phone box, in the pool hall, at the shoe store, every corner turned around

                  G#                    A#m             Cm                  C#
It started with a schoolgirl, who was running, running home to her mum and dad
                      G#               A#m                Cm              C#
She told them she was playing, in the change room of her local football side
                     G#                    A#m                            Cm
They said tell us again, so she told them again, they said tell us the truth they
                  C#
found it hard to believe
                    G#                     A#m                     Cm
cause he taught our steve, he even trained me, taught uncle John Whoʼs a father of
C#
three

Chorus:
            A#m                 Cm              C#
But it only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches
        A#m                  C#      D#
It only takes one match, to burn a thousand trees, a thousand trees

Verse:
                  G#                 A#m                       Cm                C#
You see it in the classroom, in the swimming pool, where the matchstick men are made
       G#                  A#m                  Cm                C#
In the scouts hall, at the football, where the wise we trust are paid
                  G#                         A#m
They all honur his name, he did alot for the game
Cm
He got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
              G#                  A#m                           Cm
But now there ripping them down, stamping the ground, picture gathers dust
                     C#
behind the bar in the lounge

Chorus:
            A#m                  Cm            C#
But it only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches
        A#m                  C#      D#
It only takes one match, to burn a thousand trees, a thousand trees

Bridge:
D#          C#
Wake up, smell the rain
D#          C#
Shake up heʼs back to stay
D#             C#
He hasnt been on a holiday
D#                 A#m       C#                 D#
His growing seeds dont believe why heʼs been, yeaah

G# A#m Cm C# x2

Verse:
            G#             A#m         Cm              C#
Away in the schoolyard, change room, playing fields bathroom
G#           A#m             Cm             C#
Phonebox, office box, every corner turned around,
                       G#                  A#m
They keep doubting the flame, tossing the blame,
            Cm                    C#
He got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates,
        G#                   A#m
But now there ripping them down, stamping the ground,
Cm                      C#
Picture gathers dust behind the bar in the lounge

Chorus:
            A#m                  Cm            C#
But it only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches,
        A#m                  C#      D#
It only takes one match, to burn a thousand treees.
