The Last Song

C

      C
For a long time now I've been trying to make a go
F
Pickin' and a-singin' on a country show
  C
I traveled far with a little bit of pay
  C                                       G
I sowed a lot of oats, I didn't make much hay
     C
I've been down-hearted enough to quit
F
Somehow I never have until yet
    C
We'll quit this picking, don't have a dime
     C
It's always wait until the next time

C                                       F
As this is the last song I'll sing, the last one I'm ever gonna write
    C                                             Am
The last song I'm ever gonna play on this old gui-tar,
   G                C
On this old stage tonight

C      F
C       Am
G      C

     C
When I think I'll quit and never play no more
     F
Some long haired guy knocks on my door
    C
It don't take long til I'm back on the go
      C                                   G
Cause one of his clowns couldn't make the show
   C
We live in cheap hotels and ride big fine cars
F
Rear way back and smoke a long cigar
    C
The steaks we eat are the ground up kind
    C
And hold me over just one more time

C                                       F
As this is the last song I'll sing, the last one I'm ever gonna write
    C                                           Am
The last song I'm ever gonna play on my old gui-tar,
   G                C
On this old stage tonight

C      F
C       Am
G      C

    C
Our hopes are high for that one break
F
For that and magic is all it'll take
    C
The lonesome sound, the sweet Fraulein
C                          G
Take me back just one more time
C
Makes it hard to quit as the days go round
  F
I don't want to steal when the sun goes down
       C
When I hear George sing Out of my mind
C
I gotta try again just one more time

C                                       F
As this is the last song I'll sing, the last one I'm ever gonna write
    C                                             Am
The last song I'm ever gonna play on this old gui-tar,
   G                C
On this old stage tonight
