Tom Paxton cover: Last Thing On My Mind

Last Thing On My Mind

It's a lesson too late for the learnin'
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin'
In your hand, in your hand.

Are you goin' away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Well I should have loved you better,
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind.

You've got reasons a-plenty for goin'
This I know, this I know
For the weeds have been steadily growin'
Please don't go, please don't go.

Are you goin' away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind?
I could have loved you better,
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind.

As I lie in my bed in the mornin'
Without you, without you
Each song in my breast dies of bornin'
Without you, without you

Are you goin' away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind?
Well I should have loved you better,
Didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

[jkilcull]

did you see him move?

sometimes you can catch him winkin' at ya...

anyway, he likes my playing...

says it helps make him feel not so hopeless...

[atrister]

time to take the AC out of your window....

[jkilcull]

thats permanent...and its what we call central..

[ManlyStump]

It's almost all G, C and D (all majors), with I believe Am at one point in the chorus. You can pretty much work it out by playing these.

[elusiverobertdenby]

Well done. What chords do you use here?

[wrestlerpin]

Great sounding guitar. Great song and version too. You have inspired me to break out my old Tom Paxton album.
