Am7          D7        Gmaj7
  And still those little things re - main,
Bm7          E7    Em7  Em7(B5) A7Sus4 A7
  That bring me happiness, or pain!

D       Bm         Em7    A7
  A cigar - ette that bears a lipstick's traces,
D        Bm     Em7      A7
  An airline ticket to ro-------mantic places,
D        D7    G       G  G/F# Em     Em7    A7
  And still my heart has wings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D       Bm     Em7    A7
  A tinkling piano in the next a - partment,
D          Bm         Em7     A7
  Those stumbling words that told you...  what my heart meant,
D         D7   G      G  G/F#  Em     A7     D
  A fairgrounds painted swings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you!

G       Em      G        Gm9  Gm(b9) Gm7
  You came,   you saw,   you conquered me,
D6       Cdim      Gm7(type2)       A   A7
  When you did that to me, I, somehow, knew that this had to be!

D        Bm        Em7      A7
  The winds of March that make my... heart a dancer,
D       Bm         Em7      A7
  A tele - phone that rings, but... who's to answer?
D        D7      G      G  G/F#  Em    Em7    A7
  Oh, how the ghost of you clings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D       Bm        Em7    A7
  Gardenia perfume lingering...  on a pillow,
D           Bm     Em7     A7
  Wild strawberries only seven... francs a kilo,
D        D7     G      G  G/F#  Em    Em7    A7
  And still my heart has wings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D        Bm       Em7    A7
  The park at evening when the bell has sounded,
D        Bm         Em7       A7
  The 'Ile de France' with all the...  girls a - round it,
D       D7    G      G  G/F#  Em     A7     D
  The beauty that is Spring, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you!



G       Em       G        Gm9  Gm(b9) Gm7
  I know...   that this...   was bound to be,
D6          Cdim      Gm7(type2)       A   A7
  These things have haunted me, for you've entirely en - chanted me!

D        Bm        Em7     A7
  The sigh of midnight trains in...  empty stations,
D          Bm         Em7     A7
  Silk stockings thrown aside, dance...  invi - tations,
D        D7      G      G  G/F#  Em     Em7    A7
  Oh, how the ghost of you clings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D         Bm        Em7    A7
  First daffo - dils, and long ex-----cited cables,
D        Bm       Em7     A7
  And candle - light on little...  corner tables,
D        D7     G      G  G/F#  Em     Em7    A7
  And still my heart has wings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D        Bm       Em7   A7
  The smile of Garbo, when the scent of roses,
D         Bm      Em7    A7
  The waiters whistling as the last bar closes,
D        D7      G      G  G/F#  Em     A7     D
  The song that... Crosby sings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you!



G        Em       G        Gm9  Gm(b9) Gm7
  How strange,   how sweet,   to find you still,
D6         Cdim       Gm7(type2)      A   A7
  These things are dear to me, that seem to bring you so near to me!

D          Bm         Em7    A7
  The scent of smouldering leaves, the wail of steamers,
D       Bm          Em7       A7
  Two lovers, on the street, who...  walk like dreamers,
D        D7      G
  Oh, how the ghost of you clings,
    G  G/f#  Em    Em7    A7
These fool - ish things re - mind me of you, just you!

D  Bm  Em7 A7   D  Bm  Em7 A7
 Ah, ah, ah, ah!  Ah, ah, ah, ah! (repeat, end on D)
