A Thousand Trees Stereophonics
OK, none of the chords on here sound quite right to me so thought I'd put up what
I think sounds right. This is partly based on this excellent cover - http://

G Am7 G/B C x 2
[G]Standing at the [Am7]bus stop with my s[G/B]hopping in my h[C]ands
And I'm over[G]hearing elder [Am7]ladies as the r[G/B]umours start to f[C]ly
You can hear them in the [G]school yard, in the [Am7]scrap yard
In the [G/B]chip shop, in the[C] phone box
In the [G]pool hall, at the [Am7]shoe store, every [G/B]corner turned a[C]round
It started with a [G]school girl who was [Am7]running
Running [G/B]home to her Mam and [C]Dad
Told them she was [G]playing, in the [Am7]change room of the [G/B]local football [C]side
They said tell us a[G]gain, she told them a[Am7]gain, tell us the [G/B]truth, they found
it hard to be[C]lieve
'Cause he taught our [G]Steve, he even trained [Am7]me, taught our [G/B]John who's a
father of [C]three
Only t[Am7]akes one tree, to [Fmaj7]make 1000 [C]matches
Only t[Am7]akes one match,
to [Fmaj7]burn A [C]thousaaaa[G]and tr[Am7]ees[G/B] [C]
A thous[G]and t[Am7]rees[G/B] [C]
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/stereophonics/a_thousand_trees_crd_ver_3.html )
You see it in the [G]classroom
In the [Am7]swimming pool
Where the [G/B]match stick men are [C]made
At the [G]scout's hall
At the [Am7]football
Where the [G/B]wise we trust are [C]paid
They all honour his [G]name
He did a lot for the [Am7]game
Got his [G/B]name knocked up above the [C]sports ground gates
But they're [G]ripping them down, [Am7]stamping the ground
[G/B]Picture gathers dust behind the [C]bar in the lounge
Only t[Am7]akes one tree, to[Fmaj7] make a thousand[C] matches
Only t[Am7]akes one match, to [Fmaj7]burn a [C]thousaaa[G]and t[Am7]rees[G/B] [C]
A thous[G]and t[Am7]rees[G/B] [C]
[D] Wake up[Fmaj7], and smell the[C] rain
[D] Shake up, he's [Fmaj7]back to s[C]tay
[D] He hasn't been on a[Fmaj7] holid[C]ay
[D] Growing seeds don't be[Fmaj7]lieve
Why [C]he's b[G]eeee[Am7]en aw[G/B]aaaaa[C]y
G Am7 G/B C x 3
In the s[G]chool yard, [Am7]changing room, [G/B]playing field, [C]bathroom
[G]Phone box, [Am7]office blocks, [G/B]corners turn a[C]round
They keep doubting the [G]flame, tossing the [Am7]blame
Got his [G/B]name knocked up above the [C]sports ground gates
And they're [G]ripping them down, [Am7]stamping the ground
[G/B]Picture gathers dust in the [C]bar in the lounge
Only t[Am7]akes one tree, to [Fmaj7]make a thousand [C]matches
Only t[Am7]akes one match, to [Fmaj7]burn a [C]thousaaa[G]and t[Am7]rees[G/B] [C]
A thous[G]and t[Am7]rees[G/B] [C]
A thous[G]and t[Am7]rees[G/B] [C]
A thous[G]aaa[Am7]and tr[G/B]eeeee[C]s
