            G              Am             Bm              C
When im over hearing elder ladies as the rumours start to fly
                       G                 Am              Bm
You can hear em in the schoolyard, in a scrapyard, in a chip shop,

It started with a schoolgirl, who was running, running home to her mum and dad

She told them she was playing, in the change room of her local football side

They said tell us again, so she told them again, they said tell us the truth they
                  C

You see it in the classroom, in the swimming pool, where the matchstick men are made
       G                  Am                  Bm                C
In the scouts hall, at the football, where the wise we trust are paid
                  G                         Am
They all honur his name, he did alot for the game
Bm
He got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
              G                  Am                           Bm
But now there ripping them down, stamping the ground, picture gathers dust
                     C
behind the bar in the lounge
Chorus
            Am                  Bm            C
But it only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches

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

            Am                  Bm            C
But it only takes one tree, to make a thousand matches,
        Am                  C      D
It only takes one match, to burn a thousand treees.
