   Some expressions take me back

Like "Hair of Gold" and "Sweet Mary"

     Am9
And "Running to Me"

                                       Bm7  Bm7/E
The sweet, sweet songs that cloud your eyes
Em F#5 F5 E5 C5 B5 A#5
   Am9
Nostalgia supplies

   When Bobby Fischer's plane (plane, plane) touches the ground (plane, plane)

Am9                 G#7              D             D#dim7 Em*
   He'll take those Russian boys and play them out of     town
