(The sweet, sweet mem-‘ries
6 -5 5* 5
you gave a me
5 -6 -6 -5 6 7
You can’t beat the mem-‘ries
6 -5 5* 5
you gave a me)

-6 -6 6 3 -3* -5 5
Take one fresh and ten-der kiss,
-6 -6 6 7 -3* -5 5
Add one stol-en night of bliss,
-7* -7* -7 -7 7 7 -6 -6
One girl; one boy; some grief; some joy:
-6 -6 6 6 -5 6 -6
Mem-o-ries are made of this.

-6 -6 6 3 -3* -5 5
Don’t for-get a small moon-beam.
-6 -6 6 7 -3* -5 5
Fold it light-ly with a dream.
-7* -7* -7 -7 7 7 -6 -6
Your lips and mine, two sips of wine:
-6 -6 6 6 -5 6 -6
Mem-o-ries are made of this.

-7* -7* 8 -9 8 -7*
Then add the wed-ding bells;
-7 -7 -7* 8 -7* -7
One house where lov-ers dwell;
7 7 -7 -7* -7 7 -7 8
Three lit-tle kids for the fla-vor.
-7* -7* 8 -9 8 -7*
Stir care-f’ly thru the days
-7 -7 -7* 8 -7* -7
See how the fla-vor stays.
7 7 -7 7 -6 -5 7 8
These are the dreams you will sa-vor.

-6 -6 6 7 -3* -5 5
With His bless-ings from a-bove,
-6 -6 6 3 -3* -5 5
Serve it gen-rous-ly with love.
-7* -7* -7 -7 7 7 -6 -6
One man, one wife, one love, thru life:

-6 -6 6 6 -5 6 -6
Mem-o-ries are made of this.
-6 -6 6 6 -5 6 -6
Mem-o-ries are made of this.

(The sweet, sweet mem-‘ries
6 -5 5* 5
you gave a me
5 -6 -6 -5 6 7
You can’t beat the mem-‘ries
6 -5 5* 5
you gave a me)
-5 -5 5* -5 -7* 5 5 -4 5 -7
I was a rov-er, but now it’s o-ver
5 5 -5 6 -5 5 -6 -5 5 -3 -2
It was a hap-py day when you came my way
-2 3 -3 3 -5 -6 -6
To tell me of the sweet sweet
6 7 -6 -5 5* 5
Mem-‘ries you gave a me
5 -6 -6 -5 6 7
You can’t beat the mem-‘ries
6 -5 5* 5
you gave a me
5 -6 -6 6 7 6 -5 5 -6
The sweet, sweet mem-‘ries you gave to me
