MEMORY
(From "Cats")

Intro:  Bb

Bb                                           Gm  

Midnight, not a sound from the pavement

                                  Eb

Has the moon lost her memory?

                       Dm

She is smiling alone.

         Cm                F7                        Bb                 Gm

In the lamp light the withered leaves collect at my feet

              Cm           F7     Bb

And the wind begins     to moan

Mem'ry all alone in the moonlight

I can smile at the old days

I was beautiful then

I remember the time I knew what happiness was

Let the mem'ry live again

Dm      Eb            Dm        Eb

Ev'ry street lamp seems to beat

   Dm Bb   F   

A fatalistic warning

Dm          Gm                 C              Am

Someone mutters and a street lamp gutters

        Dm      G       C

And soon it will be morning

(Repeat first stanza)

F#                                      Ebm

Daylight I must wait for the sunrise

                          B  

I must think of a new life

                          Bbm

And I musn't give in

                G#m              C#7                F#              Ebm

When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too

         G#m     C#7       F# 

And a new day   will begin

Bbm        B            Bbm   B 

Burnt out ends of smoky days

        Bbm        F#         C#   

The stale cold smell of morning

         Bbm        Ebm            G#        Fm

The street lamp dies another night is over

   Bbm    Eb     G#

Another day is dawning

C#

Touch me

                      Bbm 

It's so easy to leave me

                           F#       

All alone with the memory

                            Fm

Of my days in the sun

          Ebm                G#7                   C#              Bbm

If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is

            Ebm      G#7   C#

Look a new day has begun

C#
