Judy Collins - Memory
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
Midnight
Em
Not a sound from the pavement
C
Has the moon lost her memory
Bm
Is she smiling alone
Am Em
In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet
D C G
And the wind begins to moan
[Verse 2]
Memory
Em
All alone in the moonlight
C
I can smile at the old days
Bm
I was beautiful then
Am Em
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
D C G
Let the memory live again
[Bridge]
Bm C Bm C
Every streetlamp seems to beat
Bm G A D D7
A fatalistic warning
Bm Em A
Someone mutters and a streetlamp gutters
Bm E7 A
And soon it will be morning
[Verse 3]
G
Daylight
Em
I must wait for the sunrise
C
I must think of a new life
Bm
And I mustn't give in
Am Em
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too
D C G
And a new day will begin
[Instrumental]

Burnt out ends of smoky days

The stale cold smell of morning

A streetlamp dies, another night is over

Another day is dawning

It's so easy to leave me
