INTRO: D Bm G A }x2
VERSE:
D Bm
Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl
G A
Her eyes were hazel and her nose was slightly curved
D Bm
We spent a night at the Memory Motel
G A
It`s on the ocean, I guess you knmow it well
D Bm
It took a starry night to steal my breath away
G A D Bm G A
Down on the waterfront, her hair all drenched in spray
VERSE:
Hannah baby was a honey of a girl
Her eyes were hazel, her teeth were slightly curved
She took my guitar and she began to play
She sang a song to me, stuck right in my brain
CHORUS:
D Bm G A
You`re just a memory of a love that used to be
D Bm G
You`re just a memory of a love
A D Bm G A D G D G G D
That used to mean so much to me
BREAK:
G A D G D G D
She got a mind of her own and she use it well, yeah
Well, she`s one of the kind
G A D G D G D G
Got a mind
D A D G D
She got a mind of her own, yeah, and she use it mighty fine
VERSE:
She drove her pickup truck, painted green and blue
The tires were wearin` thin, she`s done a mile or two
When I asked her where`s she headed for
Back up to Boston, I`m singin` in a bar
I`ve got to fly today on down to Baton Rouge
My nerves was shot already, the road ain`t all that smooth
Across in Texas is the rose in San Antone
I keep on a feelin` that gnawin` in my bone
CHORUS:
You`re just a memory, (just a memory) of a love
That used to mean so much to me. (just a memory)
You`re just a memory, (just a memory) of a love
That used to mean so much to me
(You`re just a memory girl)
You`re just a sweet old memory
And it used to mean so much to me
Sha-la-la-la, Sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la, Sha-la-la-la
You`re just a memory of a love
That used to mean so much to me
BREAK:
She got a mind of her own and she use it well, yeah
Mighty fine, `cause she`s one of a kind
She got a mind of her own, she`s one of a kind
And she use it well
VERSE:
On the seventh day my eyes were all aglaze
We`ve been ten thousand miles, we`ve been in fifteen states
Every woman seem to fade out of my mind
I hit the bottle then I hit the sack and cried
What`s all this laughter on the twenty second floor
It`s just some friends of mine
And they`re bustin` down the door
It`s been a lonely night at the Memory Motel
CHORUS:
You`re just a memory girl
Just a memory
And it used to mean so much to me
You`re just a memory girl
You`re just a memory
And it used to mean so much to me
You`re just a memory girl
You`re just a sweet old memory
And it used to mean so much to me
You`re just a memory of a love
D
That used to mean so much to me

G A D G D G D
