My Old Flame

	  		

G  Gdim Bm5-/7  
My old flame    
 E7   Am       Am7        F7 D7  
I can't even think of his name  
    G       C7   F7    Bb6   
But it's funny, now and then 
    Gdim 
How my thoughts go flashing back again  
 D  A7  Am5-/7  D7 D7/13-  
To my old flame 
G  Gdim Bm5-/7   
My old flame    
 E7   Am     Am7       F7 D7  
My new lovers all seem so tame 
    G          C7   F7     
For I haven't met a gent  
Bb6     Gdim 
So magnificent or elegant  
 D7 A7   F7  
As my old flame 
Bridge 
Bb               Am5-/7    C#m5-/7  
I've met so many who had fascinatin' ways 
 G7           C4/7       C7  
A fascinatin' gaze in their eyes 
F7       D7  Gsus4  
Some who took me up to the skies 
  A7            D7  
But their attempts  
     C#m5-/7 
At love were only imitations of  
G  Gdim Bm5-/7     
My old flame   
   E7   Am    Am7         F7   D7  
I can't even think of his name 
  G         C7     F7   Bb6        
But I'll never be the same until  
Gdim 
I discover what became  
 Am C#m5-/7    G  
Of my  old flame
