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)
GI remember this Dtown   Gwith a girl by my CsideD  
And a Emlove seldom Cfound in this day and Gtime
(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:)
When there's Dtoo many Emmemories for Cone heart to Ghold
Once a Dfuture so Embright now seems so Cdistant and Gcold
When the Dshadows grow Glong and your Deyes look so Gold
When there's Ctoo many memories for one heart to Ghold
There are those moments, and they just never fade
Like the look in her eyes and the way the light 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 the cool picking pattern in the intro)
