Song: The Mention Of Your Name
By:   Chris Rea 

[intro:]  |Am7  |Am7   |

[verse: 1]
|Am7            |                |    
  Time goes by   and every single 
|Fmaj7                    | 
Tear it must have well run dry
        |Dm7                    |Em 
And the lonely nights, become a strange  
        |Am    |Am      
Accepted way

[verse: 2]
        |Am7          |                            
And the years go past  just like the old song says
   |Fmaj7                     |
The pain with time has healed, it couldn't last
         |Dm7             |Em 
But oh a friend,   like a fool
              |Am     |Am
Mentions your name

[verse: 3]
      |Dm7            |G7 
Sunny days,   drunken nights
              |Cmaj7          |Fmaj7  
You smile and say,   it's all right
          |Bm7d5        |E7
But oh the cold    cold rain
                       |Am   |Am  |
At the mention of your name

[:]    |Am7 |    |Fmaj7 |    | 
       |Dm  |Em  |Am    |Am  

[verse: 4]
           |Dm                   |G7
Forgive me please, if I shrug my shoulders
              |Cmaj7                   |Fmaj7
When I put my friend at ease, as I get older
             |Bm7d5          |E7        
It's not that I   don't feel colder
     |Am    |Am 
Than before

[verse: 5]
        |Dm                |G7
Oh I've become, so good at hiding
       |Cmaj7           |Fmaj7      
What I feel, without confiding 
               |Bm7d5                       |E7  {let ring}                   
It's still the same, darling it's still the same
                       |Am    |    |    |Am  {arpeggio} {finish}
At the mention of your name
