[Intro]
Em
Hello old friend, what a strange coincidence to find you
It's been fifteen years since we last met, but I still recognised you
G F Em D C D
So call the bar-man over here and let us fill our glasses
G Em D C D
And drink a toast to olden times where all our memories lie,
G D Em
Where all our memories lie.
[Verse 1]
G Em C G
Do you remember, the time when we were young
Em C F C/E
Lowly lowly low
G Em C G
Outside the window the frosty moonlight hung
Em C
On the midnight snow
D C G
So we pulled our scarves up around our faces in the night
D C G
Huddled on the doorsteps where the fairylights shone bright
D C A
Singing christmas carols while our breath hung in the light
G D A C D Em
It all comes back like yesterday
D C
It almost seems like yesterday
[Verse 2]
G Em C G
Do you remember the changes as we grew
Em C F C/E
Slowly, slowly, slow
G Em C G
Sneaking in the back way into movies after school
Em C
For the evening show
D C G
Chasing skinny blue jeaned girls across the building site
D C G
Checking out the dance floor while the band played hold me tight
D C A
See the blonde one over there - I bet she'd be alright
G D A C D Em
It all comes back like yesterday
D C
It almost seems like yesterday.
G D A
While I talked he sat and he never made a sound
C G D E
Staring at the glass beside me
C G D A
Hey old friend tell me what's on your mind
C G D E D C
Silence grows on you like i-vy i-vy
[Verse 3]
G Em C G
Do you remember the church across the sands
Em C F C/E
Holy, holy, ho
G Em C G
You stood outside and planned to travel to the lands
Em C
Where the pilgrims go
D C G
So you packed your world up inside a canvas sack
D C G
Set off down the highway with your rings and Kerouac
D C A
Someone said they saw you in Nepal a long time back
G D A C D Em
Tell me why you look away
D A
Don't you have a word to say?
[Bridge 1]
G
He said I don't remember, I don't want to remember
F G A
In fact I've heard too much already
G
I don't want to think, just leave me here to drink
F G A
Wrapped up in the warmth of New York City
C G D A
Oh oh, it seems you just don't know
C G D E
And you just don't understand me
C G D A
Got no use for the tricks of modern times
C G D E D C
They tangle all my thoughts like ivy, ivy.
[Verse 4]
G Em C G
So I left him and I went out to the street
Em C F C/E
Lowly, lowly, low
G Em C G
Where the red light girls were coming after me
Em C
Forty dollar show
D C G
All across the city's heart the lights were coming on
D C G
The hotel lift softly hummed a Cole Porter song
D C A
If I went to look for him I knew he would be gone
G D A C D Em
A picture-card of yesterday
D C
A photograph of yesterday
C G D A
And far off in a deserted part of town
C G D E
The shadows like a silent army
C G D A
Flooded out the rooms in pools of blue and brown
C G D E D C D E
And stuck to all the walls like ivy, ivy, ivy.
