Verse 1
    G        C    Dm           F
The last time   I saw her face
G             G7        G             G7  C
Her eyes were bathed in starlight and her hair hung long
     G       C     Dm          F
The last time  she spoke to me
G                      G7               G            G7       C     Cmaj7  C  Cmaj7  F
Her lips were like the scented flowers inside a rain-drenched forest


Bridge

F               G7            F              C
But that was so long ago that I can scarcely feel
          Dm          F    G        G7          C
The way I felt before        and if time could heal the wounds
Cmaj7        C   F                 C       Dm           G7
I would tear the threads away that I might bleed some more


Verse 2

    C    Cmaj7  Dm              F
The last time I walked with her
G7                   G                  F                 G
Her laughter was the steeple bells that rang to greet the morning sun
F                      G       F                      G7
A voice that called to everyone to love the ground we walked upon
               C         Cmaj7  F  G  G7  C  Cmaj7
Those were her good days


Verse 3

C            Cmaj7 G   F             Dm
The last time        I held her hand
G                    G7                    C
Her touch was autumn spring and summer and winter too
    Cmaj7     C        F
The last time    I let go of her
G               G7             F                 G
she walked away into the night I lost her in the misty streets
F                   G                  F                G
A thousand months a thousand years when other lips will kiss her eyes
F               G                G7      C
A million miles beyond the moon that's where she is


Verse 4

     Cmaj7 C    Cmaj7 F            Dm
The last   time I     saw her face
G                       G7              C
Her eyes were bathed in sadness and she walked alone
                  F
The last time she kissed my cheek
G                      G7             F               G
Her lips were like the wilted leaves upon the autumn covered hills
F              G             F                     G
Resting on the frozen ground the seeds of love lie cold and still
F                  G7                    C         Cmaj7  F   Fm  C
Beneath a battered marking stone it lies forgotten
