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"
