This is a great song from the near universally-loathed direct-to-video Captain 
America movie from 1990.  

I saw it as a young child and never forgot the chorus, so I thought I would try a tab. 

The song was never released outside the movie, so the instrumental intro and fade-
out are obscured a bit by dialogue and sound effects.  

The body of the song, however, is pretty correct.  Get in a Bob Seger mindset 
before you play it :-)


Piano intro:

C  G  (x3)

Verse 1:

G                  Bm
A million years, a million tears
  C                G
A long, long time ago
C                    G
There was a time, a special place
    Am                 D
But where I just don't know

Pre-chorus:

C                  G
I'm all alone in a cold, cold world
     C                   G
It's hard, but I'm still trying
C                  G
I got to find that special girl
   Am                 C  D
To warm this heart of mine

Chorus:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/southside_johnny/memories_of_you_crd.html ]
G                     Em          C
All I know is what my heart keeps saying
G                   Em          C
All these memories, memories of you girl
G                     Em          C
Searching, searching, trying to remember
G                   Em          C      G   Em    C    D
All these memories, memories of you girl

Interlude:

       G      Em    C
Whoa I know
  D
I know

Verse 2:

G                         Bm
I keep on looking, till I see your face
C                 G
Wherever that may be
C                             G
I'm going somewhere there's a wonderful love
Am               D
Waiting just for me

Pre-chorus:

C                         G
Trying to remember, but I just can't forget
            C                   G
Feel like a stranger in my home town
C                     G
I look around for a familiar face
         Am           C    D
Is there anyone still around?

Chorus 2:

G                         Em          C
And all I know is what my heart keeps saying
G                   Em          C
All these memories, memories of you girl
G                    Em          C
I'm still searching, trying to remember
G                   Em          C      G
All these memories, memories of you girl

Outro/fade:

C           D
Memories of you
   G
Oh...
C   D
Sha la la la la la la la
            G
Memories of you
