(Great hits of the sixties)

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"
