      Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl 
     G                             A 
      Her eyes were hazel and her nose was slightly curved

      Down on the waterfront, her hair all drenched in spray 
 
 
 
VERSE:   
      Hannah baby was a honey of a girl 
      Her eyes were hazel, her teeth were slightly curved 
      She took my guitar and she began to play 
      She sang a song to me, stuck right in my brain 
 
 

     D              Bm      G                A 
      You're just a memory   of a love that used to be 
     D              Bm      G

VERSE: 
      She drove her pickup truck, painted green and blue 
      The tires were wearin' thin, she's done a mile or two 
      When I asked her where's she headed for 
      Back up to Boston, I'm singin' in a bar 
      I've got to fly today on down to Baton Rouge    
      My nerves was shot already, the road ain't all that smooth 
      Across in Texas is the rose in San Antone 
      I keep on a feelin' that gnawin' in my bone 
 
 
Chorus: 
      You're just a memory, (just a memory) of a love 
      That used to mean so much to me. (just a memory) 
      You're just a memory, (just a memory) of a love 
      That used to mean so much to me 
      (You're just a memory girl) 
      You're just a sweet old memory 
      And it used to mean so much to me 
 
      Sha-la-la-la,  Sha-la-la-la 
      Sha-la-la-la,  Sha-la-la-la 
 
      You're just a memory of a love 
      That used to mean so much to me 
 
BREAK: 
      She got a mind of her own and she use it well, yeah 
      Mighty fine, 'cause she's one of a kind 
      She got a mind of her own, she's one of a kind 
      And she use it well 
 
VERSE: 
      On the seventh day my eyes were all aglaze 
      We've been ten thousand miles, we've been in fifteen states 
      Every woman seem to fade out of my mind 
      I hit the bottle then I hit the sack and cried 
      What's all this laughter on the twenty second floor 
      It's just some friends of mine  
      And they're bustin' down the door 
      It's been a lonely night at the Memory Motel 
 
 
Chorus: 
      You're just a memory girl 
      Just a memory 
      And it used to mean so much to me 
      You're just a memory girl 
      You're just a memory 
      And it used to mean so much to me 
      You're just a memory girl 
      You're just a sweet old memory 
      And it used to mean so much to me 
      You're just a memory of a love 
                                      D 
      That used to mean so much to me   
 
BREAK: 
     G           A           D           G      D      G   D 
      She got a mind of her own and she use it well, yeah 
                                   G  A     D   G  D  G  D 
      Well, she's one of the kind
