The Last Nail Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

hammer on with C and F7

CI saw you Am7running ahEmead of the Em7crowd

FI chased but never thought I'd catCch you G

CYou said youAm7 loved me but you Emhad to beEm7 free and I let yoFu

FWhy did I let yCou G

CWe walked tAm7ogether through the Emgardens and gEm7raves

FI watched you grow to be a womCan G

CLiving on pAm7romises that Emnobody gEm7ave to no Fone

FThey were given to no onCe Em A

 Electric break - A D Am D

CI started listening to the wind and the rain

You strained your ears but could hear nothing

One night I thought I heard them whisper my name

And I went running

I left a trail of footprints deep in the snow

I swore one day I would retrace them

But when I turned around I found that the wind had erased them

FNow I'll never replaceC them Em A

Electric break

(Chorus)

GFly awayEm, my sweet bird, Aover the Cland

 TGake Emlife for all the fAreedom you Ccan

GBut if yEmou ever Ashould need aC man

CWell, the Aoffer still Cstands

Break

starts with the C to F7 hammer on again.

CI hear you've taAm7ken on a hEmusband and cEm7hild

And live somewhere in Pennsylvania

I never thought you'd ever sever the string but I can't blame you none

So let the ashes fall and lay where they will

Just say that once you used to know me

One last time sing that old song we used to know

 But tFhis time sing - BuFt this time sing a little more sloCwly Em A

(Chorus)

Ends with a hammer on from G to C

This is my first post - if you hate it - post one better.
