[A] [D#]
[B] [F#m]
[D] [A] Thanks for the [D] memory of rainy [D#] afternoons, swingy [D] Harlem tunes,
[F#] older trips and [Am] burning lips and burning toast and prunes,
[Em] how lovely it [A] was.
Thanks [D] for the memory of candlelight [D#] and wine,
[D] castles on the [F#] Rhine, your cozy [C#] chair and parties
[A] where we sang sweet Adelines, [Em] how [Gm] lovely it was.
[F] Many's the time [Gm] that we [C] feasted, [Dm] and [F#] many's the time that we [D#] fasted,
[A] oh well it was [F#m] swell [D] while it lasted, [Gm] we did [A] have fun and no harm done.
[F#m] And [A] thanks [D] for the memory of sunburns [D#] at the shore,
[A] nights in [D] Singapore, [F#] you might have been [Em] a bring down,
but you never were [Em] a bore, thank you [D] so much.

[D#] [Em] [D#]
[G] [D] [C]
[F] We said goodbye [G] with a high ball, [F] then I got as high [C] as a steeple,
[A] but we [F#m] were intelligent [D] people, [Gm] no tears, [A] no fuss, hooray for us.
So thanks [D] for the memory, and strictly [C] [E] entreneuse,
darling [D] how are you, [F#] and how are [Em] all the little [F#] dreams that never did come true,
[Em] thank [D] you so much.
