Chords for Only a Memory by The Smithereens

_ [Bb] Back in 1988 we put out [Gb] an album called Green Thoughts and
_ When when we wrote [B] this next song we didn't think it was a single at all
We thought that another [F] track from the album was a single but lo and behold again
Thanks to you [Ab] people supporting the record and with the number one nationally in the National Rock Radio charts
[D] We're gonna do it for you now.
It's called only a memory
