  5 -4   4    6     5   -4   4   -6
Nickels and dimes, mem'ries and wines 

 -6   -6 -6   -6   6  -5  6
she's on his mind once again. 

 5   -4   4    6     5   -4   4   -6
The same old stool, the same old fool; 

  -6   -6 -6   -6    -6   6 -5   6
played by the rules, but didn't win. 

  -8    8  -9   8   -8  7   -8     7  -8   7    -8
There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose.

-8  -8    8 -9  8    -8  7   -8     8   -8  7  -8
He tried forgettin', but he knows that it's no use.

Chorus: 

 6    7 -8  8   -8   7  -8 8 7
He's got a fool hearted memory. 

7    7   -8   8   7    7   7    -7   -7  -6   6
It won't let him see that she walked out the door. 

 6    7 -8  8    -8  7  -8 8 7
He's got a fool hearted memory, 

 7  -8  7   -8  8   7   7  7 -7   -6
And he sits patiently here every night 

-7 7  -7   -6  -7    7
so it can fool him more.

Verse 2. 
She was his girl, his only whirl, 
that string of pearls that slipped away. 
A thousand dimes, a thousand times 
he doesn't mind what they say. 
He fills the jukebox, and plays the same old song. 
He fills his glass, and then he turns her memory on. 

Chorus:
