No big surprises here, just a great tune. Enjoy. David Braue via [email protected] 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
CHORUS
