Subject: CRD/LYR: Stephen Bruton: Too Many Memories
Here is a nice ballad by Stephen Bruton (joined by Bonnie Raitt on
harmony vocals). Corrections (both lyrics & chords) are welcome.
Too Many Memories
Intro:
G |C G | |Am7 |
(The intro figure is played off a G chord shape with an occasional E on the
4th string)
G D G C D
I remember this town with a girl by my side
Em C G
And a love seldom found in this day and time
(chords repeated for all verses)
And it gets melancholy ev'ry now and again
When you let your mind go and it drifts way back when
Life plays it's tricks some cruel but fair
And even a fool can't pretend they don't care
(Chorus:)
D Em C G
When there's too many memories for one heart to hold
D Em C G
Once a future so bright now seems so distant and cold
D G D G
When the shadows grow long and your eyes look so old
C G
When there's too many memories for one heart to hold
There are those moments, and they just never fade
Like the look in her eyes and the way that life played (?)
God moved in that moment and the angels all cried
And they gave you a memory that you'll have till you die
Now the lesson you learn and you don't dare forget
What makes you grow old is replacing hope with regret
Chorus (with minor variations;2 lines starting with "And" in stead of "When":)
And there's too many memories....
And the shadows.....
-----
And now a couple of requests:
"Mary watches everything" by Luka Bloom (I need the chords)
"Where have you been" by OHO (I need the lyrics, I got the chords
and the cool picking pattern in the intro)
