The last note    (video)

 

    C ~ ~

 

            C                                           F                    C

1. The last note dies away but my heart keeps on singin’

    C               Am           F                    G

    inside my head the words keep on ringing’.

              C                                                     F                 C

    And free from this brave new world’s uncertainty and lies

            C                     - G                  C

    in a far better place        my spirit flies.

 

                              F

Don’t know what music means to you,

                           C

but that’s what music means to me,

           C                                                          G

it can capture my heart, yet somehow set it free.

           C                                 F                                 C

It can tear me to pieces, yet somehow make me whole,

     F             C              G            C

it gives me hope and feeds my soul.

 

+  instrumental = verse 1

 

            C                                          F                  C

2. The last note dies away and the lights are all dimming

               C                    Am                  F             G

    but I know it’s not an ending, just another beginning.

                    C                                             F                    C

    That my song will travel with me on my long journey home,

                                C                                        G             C

    and though the road be dark and lonely, I’ll never be alone.

 

+  CHORUS       +  instrumental = verse 2

 

                                      F              C             G             C

+  CHORUS           + It gives me hope and feeds my soul.
