Among My Souvenirs

Words & Music by Horatio Nicholls & Edgar Leslie, 1927
Recorded by Connie Francis, 1959 (#7)



  A       F#7    Bm7     E7
There's nothing left for me

    E9        A6      A
Of days that used to be;

  Cdim      Bm7   E7  
I live  in  mem-o-ry

   D     E7    A     Edim   E7
Among my souvenirs.


  A   F#7     Bm7       E7
Some letters tied with blue,

   E9   A6       A
A photograph or two;

  Cdim  Bm7-5      E7
I see a rose from you

   D      E7    A
Among my souvenirs.


Bridge:

  A    A7   D6      D    Bm7
A few more tokens rest

  E7   E9   A6       A
Within my treasure chest

                E7
And though they do their best

   F#m7    B7    Em7 Bm7-5  E7  
To give me con - so - la - tion.


A  F#7       Bm7   E7
I count them all apart,

    E9      A6         A
And as the teardrops start,

  Cdim   Bm7      E7
I find a broken heart

  D      E7     A   F#m7  Bm   E7
Among my souvenirs.


A  F#7       Bm7  E7
I count them all apart,

    E9      A6        A
And as the teardrops start,

  Cdim   Bm7     E7
I find a broken heart

  Bm7    E     A    D6   A    Fdim    A
Among my souvenirs.
