  Intro:    A    E    A    E

   

  A                                       E

  The kids are driving and Saturday afternoon just passed me by

  A                    E

  I'm just savouring familiar sights

  A                      E

  We shared some history, this town and I

  A            B                G#m               Av

  And I can't stop that long-forgotten feeling of her

  A                  B             E

  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:

             A              B             F#m

  And oh the flame trees'll blind a weary driver

              Av                B                E

  And there's nothing that can set fire to this town

               A                 B         C#m                E

  There's no change, there's no pace, everything within its place,

                 A          B                    E

  Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around

   

   

  A                              E

  Oh, who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway

  A                                   E

  It takes more than just a memory to make me cry

  A                                   E

  And I'm happy just to sit here at a table with old friends

  A                                                 E

  And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies

  A                                        E

  And there's a girl, she's fallin' in love near where the pianola stands

  A                                       E

  With a young local factory auto worker -- just holdin' hands

            A                G#m             B

  And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay

  C         G              C                 G            D    E

  Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field in our day
