#Verse

G               Am               Bm             C
Standing at the bus stop with my shopping in my hand
            G             Am            Bm               C
And I'm overhearing elder ladies as the rumours start to fly
              G                   Am          Bm         C
Giving in the school yard, in the scrap yard, chip shop, phone box
       G                 Am                Bm            C
In the pool hall, at the shoe stall, every corner turned around


               G                    Am               Bm                  C
Started with a school girl, who was running, running home to her mum and dad
                  G              Am                    Bm             C
Told them she was playing in the changing rooms of her local football side
                  G                    Am                 Bm                            C
They said tell us again, she told them again, tell us the truth, they find it hard to belive
                   G                   Am                  Bm                     C
Cos her taught our Steve, even trained me, he taught Uncle John who's a father of three


#Chorus

        Am
It only takes one tree
   F               C
To make a thousand matches
     Am
Only takes one match
   F      C       G Am  Bm  C
To burn a thousand trees
    G Am  Bm C
Thousand Trees

#Verse

              G                  Am                      Bm                 C
See it in the class room, in the swimming pool where the matchstick men are made
       G                  Am                 Bm                C
At the scouts hall at the football where the wise in we trust are paid
                    G                          Am
They all houner his name, he did a lot for the game he got his
Bm                        C 
Name knocked up above the sports ground gates now they're
G                  Am                  Bm                              C
Ripping them down, stamping the ground picture gathers dust behind the bar in the lounge


#Chorus
        Am
It only takes one tree
   F               C
To make a thousand matches
     Am
Only takes one match
   F      C       G Am  Bm  C
To burn a thousand trees
    G Am Bm  C
Thousand Trees


#Middle 8
D        F         C    D
Wake up, smell the rain
               F       C   D 
Shake up, he's back to stay
                 F   C   D
Hasn't been on a holiday
                        F          C    G Am  Bm C
His growing seeds don't belive why he's been away
G   Am   Bm   C
#Reapeat above x3


#Verse
       G            Am           Bm              C
In the school yard, change room, playing fields, bathroom
G          Am             Bm            C
Phone box, office blocks, corner turned around they keep
             G                  Am            Bm                        C
Doubting the flame, tossing the blame got his name knocked up above the Sports ground gates but now they're
G                  Am                   Bm                          C
Ripping them down, stamping the ground, picture gathers dust in the bar in the lounge

#Chorus
        Am
It only takes one tree
   F               C
To make a thousand matches
     Am
Only takes one match
   F      C       G Am  Bm  C
To burn a thousand trees
    G Am Bm  C
Thousand Trees
    G Am Bm  C
Thousand Trees
    G Am Bm  C
Thousand Trees
