Intro LA MI LA MI
LA MI
The kids are driving and Saturday afternoon just passed me by
LA MI
I'm just savouring familiar sights
LA MI
We shared some history, this town and I
A B G#m Av
And I can't stop that long-forgotten feeling of her
LA SI MI
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
LA SI FA#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
LA SI DO#m MI
There's no change, there's no pace, everything within its place,
LA SI MI
Just makes it harder to believe that she won't be around
LA MI
Oh, who needs that sentimental bullshit anyway
LA MI
It takes more than just a memory to make me cry
LA MI
And I'm happy just to sit here at a table with old friends
LA MI
And see which one of us can tell the biggest lies
LA MI
And there's a girl, she's fallin' in love near where the pianola stands
LA MI
With a young local factory auto worker -- just holdin' hands
LA SOL#m SI
And I'm wondering if he'll go or if he'll stay
DO SOL DO SOL RE MI
Do you remember, nothing stopped us on the field in our day
CHORUS
