So, as you can tell by the size of the stage, we've got a few sort of guests coming along.
And rather than just get up here and pin you to the back of the wall like we normally do,
we thought we'd try a few different things.
Some of these songs you're going to know, some of them you won't, but hopefully you
will soon when I record them next week.
Right here, we're going to start off with one that you probably know.
[B] [A]
[E]
[A]
[E]
[A] It's a dry [E] and sad afternoon, just passed me by.
[A] And I'm just savoring [E] familiar sights.
[A] We shared some history, [E] this town and I.
[A] And I can't [B] stop that long [G#m] -forgotten feeling [A] I've heard.
It's time to book [B] a room and [E] stay the night.
[A] And number one is to find some friends [E] to say you're doing well.
[A] And after all this time, you boys [E] look just the same.
[A] And number two is a happy [E] hour at one of two hotels.
[A] And settling to [B] play did [G#m] you remember so [A] and so?
And number three is [B] never say [E] her name.
And though [A] the flame trees [B] rise and weary [F#m] drivers roam,
[A] there's nothing else [B] can set fire to [E] this town.
And there's [A] no change, there's [B] no place.
[C#m] Everything within [E] its place just makes [A] it hard to [B] believe
that she [E] will be [A] around.
[E] [A]
Who [E] needs that sentimental bullshit anyway?
[A] You know it takes more than just a memory [E] to make me cry.
[Em] And [A] I'm happy just to sit here [E] around this table with old friends
[Em] and [A] see which one of us can tell [E] the biggest lies.
And [A] there's a girl, she's falling in love.
And [E] there's a piano stand.
[A] But a young local factory-eyed worker, [E] and there's a school hand.
[A] And I'm wondering if [G#m] he'll come or if [B] he'll stay.
[C] Do you [G] remember nothing [C] stopped us from [G] being here?
[D] And though [E]
[A] the flame trees [B] rise and [F#m] weary drivers roam,
[A]
there's nothing else [B] can set fire to [E] this town.
And [A] there's no change, there's [B] no place.
[C#m] Everything within [E] its place just makes [A] it hard to [B] believe
