• Capo on 2nd
• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: A

Verse 1:
  G                      C
Today the weather was so   pretty
   D7                    G
At noon I went out for a stroll
  G          G7              C
I walked and did some window   shopping
    D7                    G
And met someone I used to know


Verse 2:
    C                          G
The years have been kind to her beauty
     C       A7             D7
When I first saw her my heart jumped
  G                   C
Tonight if I seem disenchanted
  D7               G
I took a memory to lunch

Verse 3:
   G                        C
We sat and talked about the old days
     D7                   G
With misty teardrops in our eyes
    G    G7               C
And reconfirmed an old suspicion
    D7                       G
The past grows old but never dies


Verse 4:
    C                             G
The charm that draws two hearts together
   C      A7               D7
By four o'clock was just too much
    G                       C
The days and years we had between us
     D7                    G       D#7
Were down to just two coffee cups


Verse 5:
    G#                      C#
You can't relive life in an hour
    D#7                    G#
The afternoon kept wearing on
    G#    G#7             C#
I'm sorry that I'm late for dinner
  D#7              G#
I took a memory to lunch
