D6      Bm7                 Em9             
A cigarette that bears a lipstick's  
A7             D6           Bm7          Em9      A7 
Traces, an airline ticket to romantic places 
D9            D7/13-         G6      
And still my heart has wings 
      B7             E7        A7          Em7    A7 
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          D7/13-  G6              
A fairground's painted swings 
B7            E7     A7                D       C#7    
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      Cdim     Em7   A7                
When you did that to me I knew somehow this had to be 
D6            Bm7                Em9    A7                       
The winds of March that make my heart a dancer 
D6                Bm7      E9       A7 
A telephone that rings but who's to answer 
D9         D7/13-        G7M           B7          E7       A7   D    Cdim   Em7   A7 
Oh, how the ghost of you clings, these foolish things, remind me of you

                E7 A7 D C#7 

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         D7/13-        G7M            
Oh how the ghost of you clings  
B7          E7       A7       D    Cdim   Em7 A7 
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     
These things are dear to me 
      A7     Cdim        Em7     A7 
They seem to bring so you near to me 
D6          Bm7               Em9     A7                   
The sigh of midnight trains in empty stations 
D6                      Bm7        E9    A7 
Silk stockings thrown aside, dance invitations  
D9         D7/13-        G7M            
Oh, how the ghost of you clings 
B7          E7       A7        
These foolish things, remind me of you 
D    Cdim   Em7   A7  D    Cdim   Em7   A7   D    Cdim   Em7   A7 
Remind me of you,      remind me of you,        remind me of you
