The Last Thing On My Mind (Tom Paxton)

       G          C            G
It's a lesson too late for the learning,
C       G-D         G
Made of sand, made of sand.
       G          C              G
In the wink of an eye my soul is turning,
C       G-D         G
In your hand, in your hand.

:
        D                  C           G
Are you going away with no word of farewell?
           C        G            D-D7
Will there be not a trace left behind?
        G                    C              G
Well, I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind,
          D            D7               G
You know, that was the last thing on my mind.

      G           C              G
As we walk all my thoughts are a-tumbling,
 C          G-D                G
'Round and 'round, 'round and 'round.
     G         C                 G
Underneath our feet the subway's rumbling,
C    G-D          G
Underground, underground.




            G         C          G
You've got reasons a-plenty for going,
C      G-D          G
This I know, this I know.
        G               C        G
For the weeds have been steadily growing,
C            G-D              G
Please don't go, please don't go.



     G         C         G
As I lie in my bed every morning,
C       G-D          G
Without you, without you,
     G          C             G
Each song in my breast dies a-borning,
C       G-D          G
Without you, without you.
