One last love song    (video)

 

    D ~ ~

 

        D

1. I once had a friend who I loved from my heart,

               G                                   A7

    but I went on and left her fore I’d made a start,

                     D                                                                                 G    - A

    now I’m moaning the blues like the rest of the charts, take me back.

 

               D

    So I’ll cry with a limb, just get by on a limb,

                     G                                         D

    till these blue eyes of mine they are closed,

           G                                       D

    so here’s to an old fashioned peck on the cheek

             A                                            D        - A  

    and farewell my sweet Northern Rose.

 

                D                                G                                      A

Give me one last love song to bring you back, bring you back !

                D                              G                                           A

Give me one last video, just dressed in black, dressed in black !

   G                                       D

Give him a chorus and that bit at the end,

                   G                                    D

where he wails on and on ‘bout the loss of a friend,

 G                                                                   A7                                    - D

let him scream loudly “Well this love could mend” ! Let it die, let it die.

 

                   D

2. Those bloody great ballads we hated at first,

            G                                   A

    well, I bought them all, now I’m writing worse,

      D                                                                                   G     - A

    save us from baldness and saving the earth, take me back.

 

                     D

    And I’ll smile with a limp, and I’ll love with a limp,

                  G                                   D

    till the clouds disappear from above,

                         G                           D

    and as the storm moves away, all I can say,

                     A                                        D        - A

    is there a towel on the door for your love.

 

                D                                G                                      A

Give me one last love song to bring you back, bring you back !

                D                              G                                           A

Give me one last video, just dressed in black, dressed in black !

   G                                       D

Give him a chorus and that bit at the end,

                   G                                    D

where he wails on and on ‘bout the loss of a friend,

 G                                                                    A7

let him scream loudly “Well this love could mend” !

                                       D

Let it die, let it die, let it die !
