Intro:  A A6 A7M A6 A A6 A7M A6  
 
A  A6  A7M       A6    A         A6 A7M  A6 
Bro melody 
D9  Bm5-/7 E7    Bm5-/7     A       A6  A7M  A6 
Once you were our song of love 
A  A6  A7M     A6       A         A6  A7M A6 
Now just keep taunting me 
D9   Bm5-/7  E7    Bm5-/7 E7  A           F#m E7  F#m 
With the memory  of      her tender love 
E7   A               F#m 
Oh, broken-hearted melody 
A               F#m 
Must you keep reminding me 
D               E7 
Of the lips I long to kiss 
D               E7                   A         A6  A7M  A6 
And the love I miss since she went away 
E7                      A A6  A7M   A6   E7 
Night and day they play                 that 
A               F#m 
Broken-hearted melody 
A                F#m 
That she used to sing to me 
D                  E7 
When our love was young and bright 
D                          E7        A         A6  A7M  A6 
And she held me tight.  Suddenly I found 
E7              A A6  A7M   A6   E7 
I was heaven-bound,              Oh 
A              F#m 
Broken-hearted melody 
A                   F#m 
Won't you bring her back to me 
D             E7 
Sing to her until she yearns 
D                      E7              A         A6  A7M   A6 
For when she returns  no more will you be 
      E7                   A           E7 
A broken-hearted melody. 
 
Coda: 
A   A6  A7M A6 
Oooh   
A   A6  A7M A6 
Oooh
