Corrections (both lyrics & chords) are welcome. Too Many Memories Intro: G |C G | |Am7 | (The intro figure is played off a G chord shape with an occasional E on the 4th string) G D G C D I remember this town with a girl by my side Em C G And a love seldom found in this day and time (chords repeated for all verses) And it gets melancholy ev'ry now and again When you let your mind go and it drifts way back when Life plays it's tricks some cruel but fair And even a fool can't pretend they don't care (Chorus:) D Em C G When there's too many memories for one heart to hold D Em C G Once a future so bright now seems so distant and cold D G D G When the shadows grow long and your eyes look so old C G When there's too many memories for one heart to hold There are those moments, and they just never fade Like the look in her eyes and the way that life played (?) God moved in that moment and the angels all cried And they gave you a memory that you'll have till you die Now the lesson you learn and you don't dare forget What makes you grow old is replacing hope with regret Chorus (with minor variations;2 lines starting with "And" in stead of "When":) And there's too many memories.... And the shadows..... ----- And now a couple of requests: "Mary watches everything" by Luka Bloom (I need the chords) "Where have you been" by OHO (I need the lyrics, I got the chords and the cool picking pattern in the intro) Arild Buanes Institute of Social Science University of Tromsoe Norway email: arildb@isv.uit.no www.TAB6.com
