  Subject: CRD/LYR: Stephen Bruton: Too Many Memories

  

  Here is a nice ballad by Stephen Bruton (joined by Bonnie Raitt on 

  harmony vocals). Corrections (both lyrics & chords) are welcome.

  

  Too Many Memories

  

  

  Intro:

  G        |C    G    |         |Am7   |

  

  (The intro figure is played off a G chord shape with an occasional E on the 

  4th string)

  

  G               D    G                   C       D

  I remember this town   with a girl by my side

        Em          C                     G

  And a love seldom found in this day and time

  

  (chords repeated for all verses)

  

  And it gets melancholy ev'ry now and again

  

  When you let your mind go and it drifts way back when

  

  

  

  Life plays it's tricks some cruel but fair

  

  And even a fool can't pretend they don't care

  

  (Chorus:)

               D        Em           C            G

  When there's too many memories for one heart to hold

         D         Em                  C           G

  Once a future so bright now seems so distant and cold

           D            G             D            G

  When the shadows grow long and your eyes look so old

               C                                  G

  When there's too many memories for one heart to hold

  

  

  

  There are those moments, and they just never fade

  

  Like the look in her eyes and the way that life played (?)

  

  

  

  God moved in that moment and the angels all cried

  

  And they gave you a memory that you'll have till you die

  

  

  

  Now the lesson you learn and you don't dare forget

  

  What makes you grow old is replacing hope with regret

  

  

  

  Chorus (with minor variations;2 lines starting with "And" in stead of "When":)

  

  And there's too many memories....

  

  And the shadows.....

  

  -----

  And now a couple of requests: 

       "Mary watches everything" by Luka Bloom (I need the chords)

       "Where have you been" by OHO (I need the lyrics, I got the chords 

        and the cool picking pattern in the intro)
