 Album: Man With A Memory
 Writers: Charlie Black/Rory Michael Bourke
 Intro: D  G  D  G
 
 G             D     A        D
 Ol' Johnny's got a heart of gold
 G      D           A
 Ask anyone around here
     G               D        A    D
 But some nights his eyes are far away
      G    D/F#   G
 And filled with tears
 G          D             A            D
 Sweet Mary Lou's just as good as they come
        G            D             A
 With a weakness for all the wrong men
 G         D           A       D
 From the look on her face tonight
             G   D/F# G
 She's been wrong a---gain
 G                    A
 Bartender's thinkin' to himself
       G                       A
 As he rubs his towel around a glass
 
 
 Chorus:
               G         D      A  Bm
 Now thereās a man with a memory
           A            G   D/F#  G
 There's a woman with a past
      G               D      A  Bm
 Lost souls on life's highway
    A            G   D/F#  G
 Forever lookin' back
             G               D   A  Bm
 When you're livin' for the love
         A            G   D/F#  G
 And the love doesn't last
           G          D
 You get a man with a memory
   A            G
 A woman with a past
 
 
 G           D       A    D
 Bartender turns the TV down
 G                D      A
 Cranks that ol' jukebox up
 G            D           A          D
 Carefully selects which buttons to push
          G    D/F#  G
 For what each song does
 G          D         A       D
 C twenty-three after J nineteen
        G           D       A
 It's a tonic for a broken heart
 G          D      A       D
 A little Stardust in the mix
        G    D/F#  G
 It's a fine, fine art
 G                 A
 Dim the lights a notch or two
 G                         A
 The next round is on the house
 
 
 Chorus 2:
 For the man with a memory
 And the woman with a past
 Lost souls on life's highway
 Forever lookin' back
 When you're livin' for the love
 And the love doesn't last
 You get a man with a memory
 A woman with a past
 
 
 Bm        A                  G           D/F#   Em
 Oh, we've all got somethin' we've got to get around
 D/F#             G                                    A   Bm  D/F#  G
 Now and then you get the chance to help the lost get found
 
 A  Bm  G  A
 
 G                    A
 Stackin' chairs and sweepin' up
 G                       A
 He can't help a little smile
 
 
 Chorus 3:
 Thinkin' bout the man with a memory
 And the woman with a past
 Lost souls on life's highway
 Forever lookin' back
 When you're livin' for the love
 And the love doesn't last
 You get a man with a memory
 A woman with a past
 
           G          D
 You get a man with a memory
   A            G
 A woman with a past
