Last Goodbye

Jeff Buckley
Tab
★4.7(74)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Intro

This is our last goodbye,

Bm A Em7

I hate to feel the love between us die,

G

But its over.

D

Just hear this and then i'll go,

A

You gave me more to live for,

G Intro (1)

More than you'll ever know.

Intro

This is our last embrace,

Bm A Em7

must I dream and always see your face,

G A Ds2

Why can't we overcome this wall,

A G

Baby maybe its just because I didn't know you at all.
