(Great hits of the sixties)

F/G G F/G G F/G G

C Em

Look the lady's got a photograph

Bm/D Fmaj7 G

Silver framed and velvet backed

C Em

Well, she took it quite a while ago

Bm/D Fmaj7 E7 Am

Funny that she never let me know

C+/G# Am/G

What does it matter to me

F#m7-5

If it doesn't show

C/G

I just don't know

C+/G# Am

It's only just a memory

C7/Bb

Just a little history

F G Am G F/G G

Oh, oh, oh

C Em

And now she's wearing satin shoes

Bm/D Fmaj7 G

Gilded hair to pay the dues

C Em

I guess that I should tip my hat

Bm/D Fmaj7 E7 Am

I wonder if she'd think of looking back

C+/G# Am/G

What does it matter to me

F#m7-5

If it doesn't show

C/G

I just don't know

C+/G# Am

It's only just a memory

C7/Bb

Just a little history

F G

Oh, oh

Em7 Am F

In the parking lot late at night

D7

Paper straws never worked out right

C/G

I knew I wanted to

C+/G# Am

But didn't know why

C7/Bb Fmaj7

So I just said "Hi"

(Everybody sing along now)

F/G G F/G G F/G G

C Em Bm/D Fmaj7 G

(repeat and fade)
