G Gdim Bm5-/7 E7 Am Am7 F7 D7 My old flame I can't even think of his name, G C7 F7 Bb6 Gdim But it's funny, now and then, how my thoughts go flashing back again D A7 Am5-/7 D7 D7/13- To my old flame. G Gdim Bm5-/7 E7 Am Am7 F7 D7 My old flame my new lovers all seem so tame, G C7 F7 Bb6 Gdim For I haven't met a gent 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 C#m5-/7 But their attempts at love were only imitations of G Gdim Bm5-/7 E7 Am Am7 F7 D7 My old flame I can't even think of his name, G C7 F7 Bb6 Gdim But I'll never be the same until I discover what became Am C#m5-/7 G Of my old flame.
