Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl 
G                            A 
Her eyes were hazel and her nose was slightly curved 
D                        Bm 
We spent a night at the Memory Motel 
G                     A 
It`s on the ocean, I guess you knmow it well 
D                           Bm 
It took a starry night to steal my breath away 
G                            A                      D  Bm  G  A 
Down on the waterfront, her hair all drenched in spray 
 
VERSE: 
 
Hannah baby was a honey of a girl 
Her eyes were hazel, her teeth were slightly curved 
She took my guitar and she began to play 
She sang a song to me, stuck right in my brain 
 
CHORUS: 
 
D             Bm      G                A 
You`re just a memory   of a love that used to be

That used to mean so much to me 
 
BREAK:

She got a mind of her own, yeah, and she use it mighty fine 
 
VERSE: 
 
She drove her pickup truck, painted green and blue 
The tires were wearin` thin, she`s done a mile or two 
When I asked her where`s she headed for 
Back up to Boston, I`m singin` in a bar 
I`ve got to fly today on down to Baton Rouge 
My nerves was shot already, the road ain`t all that smooth 
Across in Texas is the rose in San Antone 
I keep on a feelin` that gnawin` in my bone 
 
CHORUS: 
 
You`re just a memory, (just a memory) of a love 
That used to mean so much to me. (just a memory) 
You`re just a memory, (just a memory) of a love 
That used to mean so much to me 
(You`re just a memory girl) 
You`re just a sweet old memory 
And it used to mean so much to me 
 
Sha-la-la-la,  Sha-la-la-la 
Sha-la-la-la,  Sha-la-la-la 
 
You`re just a memory of a love 
That used to mean so much to me 
 
BREAK: 
 
She got a mind of her own and she use it well, yeah 
Mighty fine, `cause she`s one of a kind 
She got a mind of her own, she`s one of a kind 
And she use it well 
 
VERSE: 
 
On the seventh day my eyes were all aglaze 
We`ve been ten thousand miles, we`ve been in fifteen states 
Every woman seem to fade out of my mind 
I hit the bottle then I hit the sack and cried 
What`s all this laughter on the twenty second floor 
It`s just some friends of mine 
And they`re bustin` down the door 
It`s been a lonely night at the Memory Motel 
 
CHORUS: 
 
You`re just a memory girl 
Just a memory 
And it used to mean so much to me 
You`re just a memory girl 
You`re just a memory 
And it used to mean so much to me 
You`re just a memory girl 
You`re just a sweet old memory 
And it used to mean so much to me 
You`re just a memory of a love 
                                D 
That used to mean so much to me 
 
BREAK:

Well, she`s one of the kind
