Couplet 1 :
    G5                 Am7           G/B            C
    Standing at the bus stop with my shopping in my hands
                     G5          Am7
    When i'm overhearing elder ladies
           G/B              C
    As the rumours start to fly
                     G5
    Hear them in the schoolyard
           Am7
    In the scrapyard
           G/B
    In the chip shop
            C
    In the phonebox
           G5
    In the pool hall
           Am7
    At the shoe stall
          G/B                 C5
    Every corner turned around

Couplet 2 :
                      G5
    It started with a schoolgirl
            Am7

            Am7
    In the change room 
           G/B       C5
    Of her local football side
                           G5
    They said tell us again
                       Am7
    She told them again
                     G/B
    Tell us the truth
                            C5
    They found it hard to believe
                           G5
    Cause he thought our steve
                 Am7

Couplet 3 (voir Couplet 2) :
    See it in the class room
    Or the swimming pool
    Where the matchstick men are made
    At the scout's hall
    At the football
    Where the wise we trust are paid
    They all honour his name
    Did a lot for the game
    He had his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
    Now they're ripping them down
    Stamping the ground
    Picture gathers dust in the bar in the lounge

Refrain :
           Am7           Fsus2            C5
    It takes one tree to make a thousand matches

    In the school yard
    Change room
    Playing fields
    Bathroom
    Phonebox
    Office blocks
    Corners turned around
    They keep doubting the flame
    Tossing the blame

    Now they're ripping them down
    Stamping the ground
    Picture gathers dust in the
    Bar in the lounge
