Topic: My memory isn't what it was!

I'm sure this is a common problem so I'm certain you will have some memory tricks!

I have no problem remembering lyrics but remembering the chords is sometimes a challenge. Most of the time I can hear the key in my head and guess correctly but I occassionally get it wrong! A lot of the songs I like to play have an Em and a D... These are my main problem, I get them terribly mixed up and make an awfull sound! Got any advice for 'Sieve for brains' here!?! xxx

I was gonna write something here, but I forgot what I wanted to say.....

Oh yeah - Use a song book. The pros do it, why can't you.
