        Intro:          A5       E5       A5  (on 3, quick strums) 
 
        A5                   B5
        I had forgotten the dress you wore 
            D5                                 A5
        The first time I ever saw you walking through a door 
                                 B5
        And I had forgotten your secret smile 
             D5                             A5
        That seemed to say it's OK you can stay a while 
              D5     A5      E5
        And I never kept a trace 
        D5       A5          E5
        Of your voice your touch your taste 
        F#5        B5
        Or your perfume 
        D5        A5
        I had forgotten you 
 
        Then I got a letter it came today 

        From an old friend this is what he had to say 

        You know Frank Hannon well his wife just died 

        But the big news is he's already found another bride 

        You may remember her 

        She says you once went out with her 

        She was 22 

        She still remembers you 
                F#5                        A5
                She's been a widow for six years 
                                           D5
                Now her children have left home 
                                              B5
                She nursed Frank's wife for a while 
                                         E5
                But nobody knew this was going on 
 

                G5       D5       F#5     E5       (2 bars each) 
 
        Now Mary comes to me she turns out the light 
        The after a while she asks me if I'm all right 
        Well I turn to hold her but I'm not there 
        Tonight I feel like both of us are made of air 
        Mary's hair is turning grey 
        And she worries about her weight 
        Do you too? 
        I had forgotten you 
        Nothing new I had forgotten you
