1. If your memory serves you well,

                   Dm

    we were going to meet again and wait,

     E                                                                 Am 

    so I‘m going to unpack all of my things and sit before it gets too late.

            C                    Am                         C                 Am     

    No man alive will come to you with another tale to tell,

                     C                           Am

    but you know that we shall meet again,

                 Dm         F             Am

    if your memory seves you well.

 

Dm                         C                        G    - G7

    Wheels on fire, rolling down the road,

          C  G         F        C    F                 G        A

best notify my next of kin, this wheel shall explode.

 

                   Am       F               Am            Dm

2. If your memory serves you well, I was going to confiscate my lace

               E                                              Am

    and wrap it up in a sailor‘s knot and hide it in your case.

       C                            Am                       C                        Am   

    If I knew for sure that it was yours, but it was so hard to tell,

                      C                          Am

    and you know that we shall meet again,

                  Dm       F                Am

    if your memory serves you well.

 

Dm                         C                        G    - G7

    Wheels on fire, rolling down the road,

          C  G         F        C    F                 G        A

best notify my next of kin, this wheel shall explode.

 

                      Am                                     Dm

3. If your memory serves you well, you‘ll remember you‘re the one

             E                                                Am

    that called on me, to call on them, to get your favours done.

             C               Am                             C                                   Am

    And after every plan had failed and there was nothing more to tell,

       C                                   Am                           Dm       F              Am

    you knew that we would meet again, if your memory seves you well.

 

Dm                                   C                         G    - G7

       This wheel’s on fire, rolling down the road,

          C  G         F        C    F                 G         A

best notify my next of kin, this wheel shall explode.
