C                             F
Right from the start let's get one thing straight
        C                            F
When it comes to the heart you can't legislate
Am                                     G
Funny the things a fellow will remember sometimes
C                            F
Like the scene from the movie Citizen Kane
C                        F
One short moment with me remains
Am                                      G
Funny the things a fellow will remember sometimes
C                       F
When Bernstein says now you take me
C                    F
Stuck in my mind one memory
Am                                  G
I was crossing over to Jersey on the ferry
C                        F
As we pulled out another ferry pulled in
C                         F
A second between them was all it could have been
Am                                  G
And on it was a girl waiting to get off
C                     G
A white dress is what she had on
C                F
One second later she was gone
Am                                         G
She never saw me at all,she carried a white parasol
C                    F
That was in eighteen ninety six
C                        F
And I bet a month hasn't gone by since
       Am                                        G
That I haven't thought of that girl on the Jersey ferry

[Verse 2]
C                 F
Now it's nineteen forty one
     C              F
Nigh half a century been and gone
      Am                                           G
And I still remember that girl with the white dress on
  C                   F
A fleeting glimpse of chances missed
C          F
Destiny or fates cruel twist
Am
She'd never even know that I exist,
G
How about that
C                          F
Time is the ticket and the years the toll
C                                 F
Did I mention she carried a white parasol
Am                                      G
Funny the things a fellow will remember sometimes
