Tuning:Standard
NB: I have included a couple of extended verses that don't appear
in the single version of this song. For the single version,
where those verses are shortened, use the A7 and D chords at the
end of the verse(in place of the last Em7 and A7)
D5 C5 D5 B5
Oh, will you never let me be? Oh, will you never set me free?
E5 A5 D5 G5
The ties that bound us, are still a - round us,
C5 F5 E5
There's no es - cape that I can see,

A5 D5 G5
And still those little things re - main,
B5 E5 E5 Em7( B5 ) A5 A5
That bring me happiness, or pain!
D5 B5 E5 A5
A cigar - ette that bears a lipstick's traces,
D5 B5 E5 A5
An airline ticket to ro-------mantic places,
D5 D5 G5 G5 G E5 E5 A5
And still my heart has wings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D5 B5 E5 A5
A tinkling piano in the next a - partment,
D5 B5 E5 A5
Those stumbling words that told you... what my heart meant,
D5 D5 G5 G5 G E5 A5 D5
A fairgrounds painted swings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you!
G5 E5 G5 G5 Gm(b9) G5
You came, you saw, you conquered me,
D5 C5 Gm7(type2) A5 A5
When you did that to me, I, somehow, knew that this had to be!
D5 B5 E5 A5
The winds of March that make my... heart a dancer,
D5 B5 E5 A5
A tele - phone that rings, but... who's to answer?
D5 D5 G5 G5 G E5 E5 A5
Oh, how the ghost of you clings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D5 B5 E5 A5
Gardenia perfume lingering... on a pillow,
D5 B5 E5 A5
Wild strawberries only seven... francs a kilo,
D5 D5 G5 G5 G E5 E5 A5
And still my heart has wings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D5 B5 E5 A5
The park at evening when the bell has sounded,
D5 B5 E5 A5
The pier in France with all the... gulls a - round it,
D5 D5 G5 G5 G E5 A5 D5
The beauty that is Spring, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you!
G5 E5 G5 G5 Gm(b9) G5
I know... that this... was bound to be,
D5 C5 Gm7(type2) A5 A5
These things have haunted me, for you've entirely en - chanted me!
D5 B5 E5 A5
The sigh of midnight trains in... empty stations,
D5 B5 E5 A5
Silk stockings thrown aside, dance... invi - tations,
D5 D5 G5 G5 G E5 E5 A5
Oh, how the ghost of you clings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D5 B5 E5 A5
The smile of Garbo, and the scent of roses,
D5 B5 E5 A5
The waiters whistling as the last bar closes,
D5 D5 G5 G5 G E5 E5 A5
The song that... Crosby sings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you,
D5 B5 E5 A5
First daffo - dils, and long ex-----cited cables,
D5 B5 E5 A5
And candle - light on little... corner tables,
D5 D5 G5 G5 G E5 A5 D5
And still my heart has wings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you!
G5 E5 G5 G5 Gm(b9) G5
How strange, how sweet, to find you still,
D5 C5 Gm7(type2) A5 A5
These things are dear to me, that seem to bring you so near to me!
D5 B5 E5 A5
The scent of smouldering leaves, the wail of steamers,
D5 B5 E5 A5
Two lovers, on the street, who... walk like dreamers,
D5 D5 G5 G5 G E5 E5 A5
Oh, how the ghost of you clings, these fool - ish things re - mind me of you, just you!
D5 B5 E5 A5 D5 B5 E5 A5
Ah, ah, ah, ah! Ah, ah, ah, ah! (repeat, end on D)
