[Opening]
[F]That yellow [Dm]dress you wore
When [Bb]we went dancing [Gm]Sunday nights
That [Bb]smile you [Gm]gave me in the [C]movies

I’ve [F]tried in [Dm]vain
To [Bb]wash the memory [Gm]from my brain
I [F]can’t for[D]get you
And [Bb]that’s [C]what [F]love will do
[Bb]that’s [C]what [F]love will do
[section 2]
[F]The spins we [Dm]took together
[Bb]on my beat up [Gm]motor bike
[Bb]The look your [Gm]father gave me
[C]when we got back [C7]late at night
I’ve [F]tried in [Dm]vain
To [Bb]wash the memory [Gm]from my brain
I [F]can’t for[D]get you
And [Bb]that’s [C]what [F]love will do
[Bb]that’s [C]what [F]love will do

[Bb]but when I [Gm]see you the [Eb]longing starts all [C]over again
[section 3]
[F]Put out the candle light [Dm]to[Bb]morrow it burns [Gm]bright again
[Bb]But when I [Gm]lost you it could [C]never be put [C7]right again
[F]What can I [Dm]do, my [Bb]memory won’t let [Gm]go of you
I [F]can’t for[D]get you
And [Bb]that’s [C]what [F]love will do
[Bb]that’s what love will [F]do
[Closing]
I’ve [F]tried in [Dm]vain
To [Bb]wash the memory [Gm]from my brain

[Bb]that’s [C]what [F]love will do
