G Gdim Bm5-/7
My old flame
E7 Am Am7 F7 D7
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
My old flame
E7 Am Am7 F7 D7
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
My old flame
E7 Am Am7 F7 D7
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
