My old flame

G  Gdim Bm7/5-   E7   Am       
My old flame . . . I can't even
 Am7          F7     D7
 think of his name,

         G               C7   F7 
But it's funny, now and then, how
     Bb6                Gdim
 my thoughts go flashing back again

   D  A7  Am7/5-   D7    D7/5+
To my old flame.


G  Gdim Bm7/5-   E7    Am      
My old flame . . . my new 
   Am7          F7     D7
lovers all seem so tame,

      G             C7   
For I haven't met a gent so 
F7    Bb6        Gdim
magnificent or elegant

As my old flame.


Bridge;

Bb                       Am7/5-  
I've met so many who had 
    C#m7/5-
fascinatin' ways,

   G7                      C7sus4 
A fascinatin' gaze in their eyes;
  C7


F7                          D7  
Some who took me up to the 
Gsus4
skies,

    A7                          D7
But their attempts at love were 
            C#m7/5-
only imitations of


G  Gdim Bm7/5-   E7   Am       
My old flame . . . I can't even
 Am7          F7     D7
 think of his name,

         G            C7     F7   
But I'll never be the same until I
 Bb6            Gdim
 discover what became

   Am C#m7/5-   G
Of my  old   flame.
