E7/13    Fdim               A6   
Thanks     for the memory 
            F#m   A               Edim   E7            Cdim 
Of candlelight and wine, castles on the Rhine 
     E7               F#m7                   Bm5-/7                  E7 
The Parthenon and moments on the Hudson River Line 
    D9     Dm6 Cdim  E7  
How lovely      it  was 
  E7/13   Fdim        A6     F#m 
Thanks     for the memory 
   A                    Edim    E7           Cdim                      
Of rainy afternoons, swingy Harlem tunes 
               E7                   F#m7                   Bm5-/7               E7 
And motor trips and burning lips and burning toast and prunes 
      E7   D9      A         A           A7M           D9      E7 
How lovely    it  was, many's the time that we feasted 
     A         A7M           D9      E7        
And many's the time that we fasted 
     G           Bm7            Am7       D7 
Oh, well, it was swell while it lasted 
   G        G/F#    E7                              
We did have fun and no harm done  
   E7/13   Fdim          A6     F#m 
And thanks      for the memory 
    A                Edim             E7            Cdim 
Of sunburns at the shore, nights in Singapore 
     E7                    F#m7                 Bm5-/7                      E7 
You might have been a headache but you never were a bore 
    D9     Dm6 Cdim  E7    
So thank you    so  much 
  E7/13   Fdim         A6     F#m 
Thanks      for the memory 
   A               Edim              E7          Cdim 
Of sentimental verse, nothing in my purse 
     E7                  F#m7                     Bm5-/7                    E7 
And chuckles when the preacher said "For better or for worse" 
D9         Dm6 Cdim  E7   
How lovely       it  was 
   E7/13   Fdim        A6     F#m 
Thanks     for the memory 
    A                  Edim       E7           Cdim 
Of lingerie with lace, Pilsner by the case 
    E7                        F#m7                   Bm5-/7                    E7 
And how I jumped the day you trumped my one-and-only ace 
    D9     E7       A            
How lovely    it   was 
A           A7M        D9       E7 
We said goodbye with a highball 
     A        A7M          D9       E7  G             Bm7        Am7     D7 
Then I got as "high" as a steeple, but we were intelligent people 
G            G/F#      E7          
No tears, no fuss, hooray for us, so 
  E7/13  Fdim        A6     F#m 
Thanks     for the memory 
    A                 Edim   E7                    Cdim  
And strictly entre-nous, darling how are you 
E7                              F#m7                  Bm5-/7            E7 
And how are all the little dreams that never did come true 
D              Fdim          A              F#7                         D9         E7     A 
Aw'flly glad I met you, cheerio, and toodleoo And thank you so much
