Verse 2 -
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
found it hard to believe
cause he taught our steve, he even trained me, taught uncle John Who's a father of three

It only Dm2takes one match, to bFurn a tGhousand trFees, a thousand trees
Verse 3
You see it in the classroom, in the swimming pool, where the matchstick men are made
In the scouts hall, at the football, where the wise we trust are paid
They all honur his name, he did alot for the game
EmHe got his name knocked up above the sports ground gates
But now there ripping them down, stamping the ground, picture gathers dust
behind the bar in theF lounge

But it only Dm2takes one tree, to maC5ke a thousand Fmatches
It only Dm2takes one match, to bFurn a tGhousand trees, Fa thousand trees
