Intro: F# G#m A#m B x2

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

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

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

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

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

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

F# G#m A#m B x2

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

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