E7/13 Fdim A6 F#m A Edim E7 Cdim Thanks for the memory, 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 E7/13 Fdim A6 F#m How lovely it was! 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 G Bm7 Am7 D7 And many's the time that we fasted, Oh, well, it was swell while it lasted G G/F# E7 E7/13 Fdim A6 F#m We did have fun and no harm done 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 E7/13 Fdim A6 F#m So thank you so much. 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 E7/13 Fdim A6 F#m How lovely it was. 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 A A7M D9 E7 How lovely it was. 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 E7/13 Fdim A6 F#m No tears, no fuss, Hooray! For us. So, 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
