G  Gdim Bm7/5-   E7   Am        Am7          F7     D7 
My old flame . . . 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  Am7/5-   D7    D7/5+ 
To my old flame. 
 
 
G  Gdim Bm7/5-   E7    Am         Am7          F7     D7 
My old flame . . . 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                       Am7/5-      C#m7/5- 
I've met so many who had fascinatin' ways, 
 
   G7                      C7sus4   C7 
A fascinatin' gaze in their eyes; 
 
F7                          D7  Gsus4 
Some who took me up to the skies, 
 
    A7                          D7            C#m7/5- 
But their attempts at love were only imitations of 
 
 
G  Gdim Bm7/5-   E7   Am        Am7          F7     D7 
My old flame . . . 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#m7/5-   G 
Of my  old   flame.
