Merle Haggard – Old Flames Cant Hold A Candle To You (Guitar)

D                                             G 
Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend someone who

  A                                           D
I used to take comfort from long before I met you

                            D7                 G
And I caught a spark in her eyes a forgotten desire

       A                                            D  
With a word or a touch, I could have rekindled that fire

    D   F#m/D   D            D7        G  
But old flames, can't hold a candle to you

A                                      D
No one can light up the night like you do

D                               D7           G
Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two

    A                                  D       D/C  D/B D/Ab 
But old flames, can't hold a candle to you

D#                                            G#
Sometimes at night I think of old lovers I've known

  A#                                                D#
I remember how holding them, helped me not feel so alone

       D#                     D#7                     G#
Then I feel you beside me and even their memories are gone

         A#                                             D#
And like stars in the night, lost in the sweet light of dawn
