LAST KISS
Chorus
G Em
Oh Where oh where can my baby be
C D
the lord took her away from me
G Em
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good
C D G
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
G Em
We were out on a date in my daddy's car,
C D
We hadn't driven very far.
G Em
There in the road straight ahead,
C D
A car was stalled, the engine was dead.
G Em
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right,
C D
I'll never forget the sound that night.
G Em
The screaming tires, the busting glass,
C D G
The painful scream that I heard last.
Chorus
When I woke up, the rain was falling down,
There were people standing all around.
Something warm flowing through my eyes,
But somehow I found my baby that night.
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said;
"Hold me darling just a little while."
I held her close I kissed her - our last kiss,
I found the love that I knew I had missed.
Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight,
I lost my love, my life that night.
We c[C]ome on the Sloop John B, my grandfather and me.
Around Nassau town we did r[G7]oam,
Drinking all n[C]ight[C7], Got into a f[F]ight,
Well I f[C]eel so break up, [G7]I wanta go h[C]ome.
Chorus:
So h[C]oist up the John B sail, see how the mains'l sets,
Call for the captain ashore, let me go h[G7]ome.
Let me go h[C]ome[C7], I wanta go h[F]ome,
Well I f[C]eel so break up, [G7]I wanta go h[C]ome.
First Mate, he got drunk, broke up the people's trunk,
Constable had to come and take him away.
Sheriff John Stone, why don't you leave me alone?
Well I feel so break up, I wanta go home.
Chorus.
The poor cook he caught the fits, threw away all my grits,
Then he took and ate up all of my corn.
Let me go home, I wanta go home,
This is the worst trip I've ever been on.
Chorus.
Verse 1:
[G]I thought love was [D]only true in [G]fairy tales
[G]Meant for someone [D]else but not for [G]me.
[C]Love was out to [G]get me
[C]That's the way it [G]seemed.
[C]Disappointment [G]haunted all my [D]dreams.
Chorus:
Then I saw her [G]face [C]
Now I'm a be[G]liever [C]
Not a [G]trace [C]
Of doubt in my [G]mind [C]
I'm in [G]love, [C]
I'm a be[G]liever!
I couldn't [F]leave her
If I [D]tried.
Verse 2:
[G]I thought love was [D]more or less a [G]given thing,
[G]Seems the more I [D]gave the less I [G]got
[C]What's the use in [G]trying?
[C]All you get is [G]pain.
[C]When I needed [G]sunshine I got [D]rain.
