G Gdim Bm7/5- 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 Am7/5- D7 D7/5+
To my old flame.
G Gdim Bm7/5- 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 Am7/5- C#m7/5-
I've met so many who had fascinatin' ways,
G7 C7sus4 C7
A fascinatin' gaze in their eyes;
F7 D7 Gsus4
Some who took me up to the skies,
A7 D7 C#m7/5-
But their attempts at love were only imitations of
G Gdim Bm7/5- 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#m7/5- G
Of my old flame.
