    Last Goodbye - Jeff Buckley

    A quick note that this song is played in open D tuning
    This is tabbed for standard. As a result lots of times 
    any chord in the key of D sounds good so really you have
    to use your ear and play whatever you think sounds best.
    Also play close attention to the timing. There's a tab at
    below with suggestions on how to play the main riff.


    Intro (play as A shape barre chords)

    A - C - G - D x4

    Dsus4 - D x4

    A - Aadd4 - C - G - Gadd9 - D    x3

    This is our last goodbye 

             Bm             A          Em
    I hate to feel the love between us die 

             G
    But it's over 

             D
    Just hear this and then i'll go
 
        A
    You gave me more to live for 

    G
    More than you'll ever know 


    Dsus4 - D x4

    D
    This is our last embrace 

          A            Em            G 
    Must I dream and always see your face 

        Em                     D
    Why can't we overcome this wall 

    A                   C          G                       D
    Well, maybe it's just because i didn't know you at aaaaaaall

               A               C            G                  D 
    But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation 

                A             C            G                     D
    You know it makes me so angry 'cause i know that in time

Interlude    

|--------- same as verse -------| 

D - Bm - A - Em - G - D - A - G - Bm - G - Bm - G - D

    D            A               G
    Did you say 'no, this can't happen to me,'  

D               A             G
    And did you rush to the phone to call 
               
                D                    A            G
    Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind 

            Em  Em7   Dsus2/F#           D
    Saying maaaaaaaaybeeeeeee you didn't know him at all

    You didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know 

A - C - G - D x2


             D                 
    Well, the bells out in the church tower chime 

            A                 G        D
    Burning clues into this heart of mine 

             A              G                   G
    Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories 

          A               C  D
    Offer signs that it's over... 

         A       D
    it's oveeeeeeeer
    
    D
