The Way We Were chords

Barbara Streisand 1974 (Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman and Marvin Hamlisch) *

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memories_(Barbra_Streisand_album)

[C] [Em] [F] [Am] [F]

Mem'ries, light the corners of my mind,

[Em] [E7] [Am] [F]

Misty water-colored mem'ries

[E7] [C] [Am] [Dm7] [G7]

of the way we were.

[C] [Em] [F] [Am] [F]

Scattered pictures, of the smiles we left behind,

[Em] [E7] [Am] [F] [E7] [C] [C7]

Smiles we gave to one another, for the way we were.

[F] [Em] [Dm7]

Can it be that it was all so simple then?

[Em] [Em7] [A7]

Or has time rewritten every line?

[Dm] [Dm7] [Em]

If we had the chance to do it all again,

[Cmaj7] [F] [G7]

Tell me, would we, could we?

[C] [Em] [F] [Am] [F]

Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet

[Em] [E7] [Am] [F]

What's too painful to re-mem-ber,

[E7] [Am] [F]

We simply choose to forget.

[Em] [F] [Em] [F]

So it's the laugh ter, we will remember

[Em] [Am] [Dm7]

Whenever we re-mem-ber

[C] [F]

The way we were,

[Fm] [C] [F] [Cmaj7]

The way we were.
