G  Gdim Bm7     E7   Am        Am7          F7     D7  
My old flame . . . I can't even think of his name,  
  
         G               C7   F7      Bb6                G   
But it's funny, now and then, how my thoughts go flashing back again  
  
   D  A7  Am7    D7    D7  
To my old flame.  
  
  
G  Gdim Bm7     E7    Am         Am7          F7     D7  
My old flame . . . my new lovers all seem so tame,  
  
      G             C7   F7    Bb6        G  
For I haven't met a gent so magnificent or elegant  
  
   D7 A7   F7  
As my old flame.  
  
  
  
  
Bb                       Am7       C#m7   
I've met so many who had fascinatin' ways,  
  
   G7                      C7sus4   C7  
A fascinatin' gaze in their eyes;  
  
F7                          D7  Gsus4  
Some who took me up to the skies,  
  
    A7                          D7            C#m7    
But their attempts at love were only imitations of  
  
  
G  Gdim Bm7     E7   Am        Am7          F7     D7  
My old flame . . . I can't even think of his name,  
  
         G            C7     F7    Bb6            Gdim  
But I'll never be the same until I discover what became  
  
   Am C#m7      G  
Of my  old   flame.
