Introduction:

 D6           Bm7                           Em9                   A7                   D6                 Bm7             Em9           A7 
A cigarette that bears a lipstick's traces, an airline ticket to romantic places
 D9               D7               G6                     B7           E7             A7           Em7       A7 
And still my heart has wings, these foolish things, remind me of you
 D6               Bm7                     Em9           A7 
A tinkling piano in the next apartment
 D6                 Bm7                           E9       A7 
Those stumblin' words that told you what my heart meant
       D9           D7   G6                   B7             E7           A7                   D           C#7 
A fairground's painted swings, these foolish things, remind me of you
Bridge
 F#m7   Bm6           C#9   F#m               F#m7 
You came, you saw, you conquered me
 A  F#m7           Bm7         E9         A7            Em7     A7 
When you did that to me I knew somehow this had to be
 D6               Bm7                     Em9     A7                             D6                     Bm7           E9         A7 
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer a telephone that rings but who's to answer?
 D9           D7         G7M                     B7             E7           A7     D          Em7     A7 
Oh, how the ghost of you clings, these foolish things, remind me of you

 D6                             Bm7                       Em9                       A7 
The scent of smouldering leaves the wail of steamers
 D6                         Bm7                     E9                       A7 
Two lovers on the street who walk like dreamers
 D9         D7             G7M                 B7             E7             A7       D          Em7  A7 
Oh how the ghost of you clings these foolish things remind me of you
 F#m7           Bm6         C#9   F#m               F#m7 
How strange,   how sweet,   to find you still!
 A           F#m7     Bm7             E9         A7                        Em7         A7 
These things are dear to me, they seem to bring so you near to me.
 D6             Bm7                     Em9           A7                         D6                             Bm7           E9       A7 
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations, silk stockings thrown aside, dance invitations
 D9           D7           G7M                     B7           E7           A7 
Oh, how the ghost of you clings, these foolish things, remind me of you
 D        Em7     A7   D        Em7     A7     D        Em7   A7 
Remind me of you,     remind me of you,       remind me of you.
