G  Gdim Bm5-/7 
My old flame   
 E7   Am        Am7        F7  D7 
I can't even think of his name, 
      G          C7   F7     Bb6          Gdim 
But it's funny, now and then, how my thoughts go flashing back again 
 D  A7  Am5-/7   D7 D7/13- 
To my old flame. 
G  Gdim Bm5-/7  
My old flame   
  E7    Am      Am7        F7  D7 
My new lovers all seem so tame, 
      G             C7   F7    Bb6        Gdim 
For I haven't met a gent so magnificent or elegant 
   D7 A7   F7 
As my old flame. 
Bridge: 
Bb                       Am5-/7      C#m5-/7 
I've met so many who had fascinatin' ways, 
   G7              C4/7       C7 
A fascinatin' gaze in their eyes; 
F7              D7  Gsus4 
Some who took me up to the skies, 
  A7                   D7        C#m5-/7 
But their attempts at love were only imitations of 
G  Gdim Bm5-/7    
My old flame  
   E7   Am    Am7          F7     D7 
I can't even think of his name, 
     G          C7     F7    Bb6        Gdim 
But I'll never be the same until I discover what became 
 Am C#m5-/7    G 
Of my  old flame.
