Last thing on my mind Tom Paxton \\ this is the key in which he plays it on his album "Ramblin' Boy" \\ Please see chord diagrams at the bottom for a more authentic Sound \\ Travis-style picking works, but listen to the recording to get a feel for the rhythm Intro: A / D / A / / Verse: A D A It's a lesson too late for the learnin' D A E A Made of sand, made of sand A D A In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin' D A E A In your hand, in your hand. [Chorus:] E A D A Are you going away with no word of farewell? A D E Will there be not a trace left behind? A D Well, I could have loved you better, A Didn't mean to be unkind. E7 A You know that was the last thing on my mind. You've got reasons a-plenty for goin'. This I know, this I know. For the weeds have been steadily growin'. Please don't go, please don't go. [Cho:] As we walk on, my thoughts are a-tumblin', Round and round, round and round. Underneath our feet the subways rumblin', Underground, underground. [Cho:] As I lie in my bed in the mornin', Without you, without you. Every song in my breast dies a bornin', Without you, without you.
