The Last Songbird

    B                    E
The sun went down like a vision on the hill
    B                               E
She knows she never knew him and she knows she never will
        B            F#           G#m      E
And the band played "Where's Your Lost Love Gone?"
   F#
On and on

          B                         E
There was nothing too good for this English Rose
    B                       E
He knew she had a heart but where God only knows
      B        F#      B     E
So he left her nowhere bound
B         A#    A
Listen to the sound


[Chorus]

   E
Of one hand clap in the pale of the moonlight
B
All those years frozen in the spotlight
F#
Nowhere now maybe somehow
          B
They just burned too bright?
B              A#       A
Even when they won they always


E
Lost themselves to the sideways glances
B
Praying to the saints of doomed romances
F#
Tell their tale, love is not for sale
       B        E
It's a word you heard
    F#
The last songbird



[Verse]

        B                        E
So they walked for miles in the dead heat sun
B                              E
From those memories they could never outrun
        B             F#        G#m      E
And the band played, "Where Did Our Love Go?"
     F#
Who could know?


         B                     E
He would throw himself at her feet and plead,
B                              E
give me everything, I want and nothing that I need
       B        F#    B     E
But to you I'm always bound
B         A#   A
Listen to the sound



[Chorus]

   E
Of one hand clap in the pale of the moonlight
B
All those years frozen in the spotlight
F#
Nowhere now maybe somehow
          B
They just burned too bright?
B              A#       A
Even when they won they always


E
Lost themselves to the sideways glances
B
Praying to the saints of doomed romances
F#
Tell their tale love is not for sale
       B        E
It's a word you heard
    F#
The last songbird



[Bridge]
E
Under this crooked spell
D#m
How could anybody resist?
E
He keeps her under lock and key
    D#m
She keeps him on her to do list

A
Porcelain nights and skin tight moves
      G#m
They live between the comedy and comedown blues
   A
In love and war, all is lost and found
D                        F#
Is it just a case of the last shakedown?

          B
While the world spins every way but 'round and around
        B                    B
All is simple on the upside down
(B)       (A#) (A)
Listen to the sound ----------------
              B         A#  A     B
E|--------------| Listen to the sound of.... 



[Chorus]

E
One hand clap in the pale of the moonlight
B
All those years frozen in the spotlight
F#
Nowhere now maybe somehow
          B
They just burned too bright
B              A#        A
Even when they won they always

E
Lost themselves to the sideways glances
B
Praying to the saints of doomed romances
F#
Tell their tale love is not for sale
       B        E
It's a word you heard
    F#             (F#)         B
The last.......... song.........bird
