The Fratellis – The Last Songbird (Guitar)

    B                    E
The sun went down like a vision on the hill

    B                               E
She knows she never knew him and she knows she never will

        B            F#           G#m      E
And the band played "Where's Your Lost Love Gone?"

   F#
On and on

          B                         E
There was nothing too good for this English Rose

    B                       E
He knew she had a heart but where God only knows

      B        F#      B     E
So he left her nowhere bound

B         A#    A
Listen to the sound

   E
Of one hand clap in the pale of the moonlight

B
All those years frozen in the spotlight

F#
Nowhere now maybe somehow

          B
They just burned too bright?

B              A#       A
Even when they won they always

E
Lost themselves to the sideways glances

B
Praying to the saints of doomed romances

F#
Tell their tale, love is not for sale

       B        E
It's a word you heard

    F#
The last songbird

        B                        E
So they walked for miles in the dead heat sun

B                              E
From those memories they could never outrun

        B             F#        G#m      E
And the band played, "Where Did Our Love Go?"

     F#
Who could know?

         B                     E
He would throw himself at her feet and plead,

B                              E
give me everything, I want and nothing that I need

       B        F#    B     E
But to you I'm always bound

B         A#   A
Listen to the sound

   E
Of one hand clap in the pale of the moonlight

B
All those years frozen in the spotlight

F#
Nowhere now maybe somehow

          B
They just burned too bright?

B              A#       A
Even when they won they always

E
Lost themselves to the sideways glances

B
Praying to the saints of doomed romances

F#
Tell their tale love is not for sale

       B        E
It's a word you heard

    F#
The last songbird

E
Under this crooked spell

D#m
How could anybody resist?

E
He keeps her under lock and key

    D#m
She keeps him on her to do list

A
Porcelain nights and skin tight moves

      G#m
They live between the comedy and comedown blues

   A
In love and war, all is lost and found

D                        F#
Is it just a case of the last shakedown?

          B
While the world spins every way but 'round and around

        B                    B
All is simple on the upside down

(B)       (A#) (A)
