A                  F#m
You're goin' away, away from me
 D                    E7
But here in my heart is a memory
 A               F#m
The way we met, the way we kissed
 D            E7        A  F#m  D  E7
The way we fell in love

 A                   F#m
Oh, the little secrets that we shared
 D              E7
When I was sad, the way you cared
 A               F#m
To let me know you'd understand
 D            E7           A  D  A  A7
The way you'd hold my hand

[Chorus]

D         A         E                              A
Cherished memories, the things that a fellow can't forget
D         A         B7                            E
Cherished memories, you're leaving but I love you yet

[Verse]

 A              F#m
And now you say that we must part
 D                E7
And even though it breaks my heart
 A                      F#m
There's one thing you can't take from me
 D                   E7     A  D  A  A7
That's my cherished memories

[Chorus]

D         A         E                              A
Cherished memories, the things that a fellow can't forget
D         A         B7                            E
Cherished memories, you're leaving but I love you yet

[Verse]

 A              F#m
And now you say that we must part
 D                E7
And even though it breaks my heart
 A                      F#m
There's one thing you can't take from me
 D                   E7     A
That's my cherished memories

[Outro]

F#m   D         E7      A
      Cherished memories x4
