Intro:    A5    E5    A5    E5

A5                                       E5
The kids are driving and Saturday afternoon just passed me by
A5                    E5
I'm just savouring familiar sights
A5                      E5
We shared some history, this town and I
A5            B5                G#5               A5
And I can't stop that long-forgotten feeling of her
A5                  B5             E5
In time to book a room and stay tonight

Number 1 is to find some friends and say "you're doing well --

After all this time you boys look just the same"

Number 2 is the Happy Hour at one of two hotels

And settle in to play "Do you remember so-and-so"

Number 3 is never say her name

CHORUS:
           A5              B5             F#5
And oh the flame trees'll blind a weary driver
            A5                B5                E5
And there's nothing that can set fire to this town
             A5                 B5         C#5                E5
There's no change, there's no pace, everything within its place,
               A5          B5                    E5
Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around


A5                              E5
Oh, who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway
A5                                   E5
It takes more than just a memory to make me cry
A5                                   E5
And I'm happy just to sit here at a table with old friends
A5                                                 E5
And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies
A5                                        E5
And there's a girl, she's fallin' in love near where the pianola stands
A5                                       E5
With a young local factory auto worker -- just holdin' hands
          A5                G#5             B5
And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay
C5         G5              C5                 G5            D5    E5
Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field in our day

CHORUS
