The Last Year
VERSE ONE (E-A x3, D7-A)
You've got to say goodbye to everyone
you've got to be strong while you do
because what happens, happens more to them
so live your life while you have some to
CHORUS
(E) A
Somehow you already know
D A E
the truth of how to go
A
that there's no reason to fear
D A E
what might be your last year
G#m A
and you can say, with confidence
F#m E
I am ready for whatever life presents
A
and tell 'em, 'hold back your tear'
D no chord E
even though this might be the last year
VERSE TWO (E-A x3, D7-A)
You see the brighter side of what is left to do
and save your legacy with quiet construction
your grandchildren may never get a chance to meet you
But will they know you? there is no question!
CHORUS
BRIDGE
in the end, despite all the baggage,
that I have mostly forgave and forgot,
know that my kid will fold your planes,
even when he is just a little tot
So you will live on,
though you are gone
CHORUS
