Remember Me (When Candlelights Are Gleaming) by John Prine feat. Kathy Mattea
Remember Me (When Candlelights Are Gleaming)
Capo:no capo
[Inro]
A D A A E A
[Verse]
A D A
The sweetest songs belong to lovers in the gloaming
A E A
The sweetest days are the days that used to be
A D
The saddest words I've ever heard
A
Were words of parting
A E A
When you said, sweetheart, remember me.
[Chorus]
D A
Remember me, When the candlelight are gleaming
E A
Remember me, At the close of a long, long day
D A
It would be so sweet When all alone I'm dreaming
A E A
Just to know, you still remember me
[Verse]
A A
You told me once,
D A
That you were mine alone forever
E A
And I was yours till the end of eternity
D
But all those vows are broken now
A
And we will never
A E A
Be the same, except in memory
[Chorus]
D A
Remember me, When the candlelight are gleaming
E A
Remember me, At the close of a long, long day
D A
It would be so sweet When all alone I'm dreaming
A E A
Just to know, you still remember me
[Verse]
A D
A brighter face may take my place
A
When we're apart dear
E
A sweeter smile
A
And a love more bold than free
A D
But in the end fair-weather friends
A
May break your heart dear
A E A
If they do, sweetheart, remember me
[Chorus]
D A
Remember me, When the candlelight are gleaming
E A
Remember me, At the close of a long, long day
D A
It would be so sweet When all alone I'm dreaming
A E A
Just to know, you still remember me
A E A
Just to know, you still remember me

version 2
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:A
Capo:2nd fret
Tuning: Standard
This is a pretty straightforward travis-picking song, witht he chord shapes
consisting of
just three (G, C and a kind of D formation). The only tricky bit is in the intro,
where
there is a kind of skipping arrangement for 3 bars (bars 3, 4 and 5). The rest is
very
easy.
Time: 4/4.

The sweetest songs belong to lovers in the gloaming
The sweetest days are the days that used to be
The saddest words I ever heard were words of parting
When you said "Sweetheart, remember me"
Remember me when the candle lights are gleaming
Remember me at the close of a long, long day
It would be so sweet when all alone I'm dreaming
Just to know you still remember me
You told me once that you were mine alone forever
And I was yours 'till the end of eternity
But all our vows are broken now and you will never
Be the same except in memory
Remember me when the candle lights are gleaming
Remember me at the close of a long, long day
It would be so sweet when all alone I'm dreaming
Just to know you still remember me
A brighter face may take my place when we're apart, dear
A sweeter smile, a love more bold and free
But in the end, fair weather friends may break your heart, dear
If they do, sweetheart, remember me
Remember me when the candle lights are gleaming
Remember me at the close of a long, long day
It would be so sweet when all alone I'm dreaming
Just to know you still remember me
Just to know you still remember me
