Since this song was written on the piano, I have formatted the chords to be played on the piano. The song is
a slightly higher register, so with that being said, I start by using my left hand on middle C and my right
for the next higher chord, if that makes any sense. The song is very easy, and follows a C, G, Am, F chord 
progression. Even though this is played on the piano, I'm sure someone could play it on the guitar!
If you have any suggestions, feel free to add them! What really makes this song beautiful is the sincerity
and humanity that comes from the vocals.

"I Remember Her"
[Verse 1]
  CThere’s a house, Gthat’s not on a hill
 AmAnd the paint’s chipping off
 FOf the old window sill
 CThere’s a tree in the front yard
  GThat’s older than me
 AmAnd older than all of yFou
 CThere’s a smell that the heat makes
 GIt reminds me of Christmas
 AmAnd birthdays in DeFcember
[Chorus]
 CI remember her
 GI remember her
AmI remember her so Fwell
 CI remember her
 GI remember her
AmI remember her so Fwell
   FBut things theCy fade
[Verse 2]
 CShe would kiss my hand
 GShe would kiss my head
 AmThen she’d fall asleep with me
 FIn my tiny bed
 CShe would sing me lullabies
 GGave me my hazel eyes
 AmAnd then she’d call me beautiful
FShe made me beautiful
[Chorus]
 CI remember her
 GI remember her
AmI remember her so Fwell
 CI remember her
 GI remember her
AmI remember her so Fwell
[Verse 3]
(once)
 FBut things they fCade
 GThings turn to grey
 AmAs much as I try to save them
 FThey turn grey
 CJust like the house, thaGt’s not on a hill
With alAml of the rust on the gate
ThFe chips on the sill
FBut I love it Cstill
       End

"I Remember Her"

[Verse 1]

C G

There’s a house, that’s not on a hill

And the paint’s chipping off

Of the old window sill

There’s a tree in the front yard

That’s older than me

Am F

And older than all of you

There’s a smell that the heat makes

It reminds me of Christmas

Am F

And birthdays in December

[Chorus]

I remember her

Am F

I remember her so well

I remember her

Am F

I remember her so well

F C

But things they fade

[Verse 2]

She would kiss my hand

She would kiss my head

Then she’d fall asleep with me

In my tiny bed

She would sing me lullabies

Gave me my hazel eyes

And then she’d call me beautiful

She made me beautiful

[Chorus]

I remember her

Am F

I remember her so well

I remember her

Am F

I remember her so well

[Verse 3]

(once)

F C

But things they fade

Things turn to grey

As much as I try to save them

They turn grey

C G

Just like the house, that’s not on a hill

With all of the rust on the gate

The chips on the sill

F C

But I love it still
