MEMORY – Andrew Lloyd Webber
C Am
Midnight. Not a sound from the pavement.
F Em
Has the moon lost her mem’ry? She is smiling alone.
Dm7 Am7
In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet
G7 C
And the wind begins to moan.
C Am
Mem’ry. All alone in the moonlight
F Em
I can smile at the old days, I was beautiful then.
Dm7 Am7
I remember the time I knew what happiness was,
G7 C [B, A]
Let the mem’ry live again.
Em Em/F Dm/F Em Em/F Dm/F Em C D G [G, F#]
Ev’ry street lamp seems to beat a fatalistic warning.
Em A7 Dmaj7 G Em A7 D
Someone mutters and a street lamp sputters and soon it will be morning.
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/a/andrew_lloyd_webber/memory_crd_ver_4.html ]
C Am
Daylight. I must wait for the sunrise,
F Em
I must think of a new life, and I mustn’t give in.
Dm7 Am
When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too
G7 C [G, Ab, Bb]
And a new day will begin.
[Interlude]
Ab Fm Db Ab
Cm Cm/Db Bbm/Db Cm Cm/Db Cm Ab Eb [Eb, D]
Burnt out ends of smoky days, the stale cold smell of the morning.
Cm7 Fm7 Bb7 Ebmaj7 Cm F7 Bb Bb7
The street lamp dies, another night is over, another day is dawning.
Eb Cm
Touch me. It’s so easy to leave me
Ab Gm7
All alone with the mem’ry of my days in the sun.
Fm7 Fm Cm
If you touch me, you’ll understand what happiness is.
N.C. Bb9sus Eb
Look, a new day has begun.
