My old flame . . . I can't even think of his name, 
         G5               C5   F5      Bb5                G5 
But it's funny, now and then, how my thoughts go flashing back again 
   D5  A5  A5   D5    D5 
To my old flame. 
G5  G5 B5   E5    A5         A5          F5     D5 
My old flame . . . my new lovers all seem so tame, 
      G5             C5   F5    Bb5        G5 
For I haven't met a gent so magnificent or elegant 
   D5 A5   F5 
As my old flame. 
 
Bridge; 
Bb5                       A5      C#5 
I've met so many who had fascinatin' ways, 
   G5                      C5   C5 
A fascinatin' gaze in their eyes; 
F5                          D5  G5 
Some who took me up to the skies, 
    A5                          D5            C#5 
But their attempts at love were only imitations of 
G5  G5 B5   E5   A5        A5          F5     D5 
My old flame . . . I can't even think of his name, 
         G5            C5     F5    Bb5            G5 
But I'll never be the same until I discover what became 
   A5 C#5   G5 
Of my  old   flame.
