Verses & chorus:

C5     C+9    F5            D5      G5
Mary walks down to the water's edge and there she hangs her head to

C5           C+9        F5             D5       G5
find herself faded a shadow of what she once was.  She says

C5                C+9         F5           D5        G5
"How long have I been sleeping and why do I feel so old why do I feel so cold

   C5         C+9                            D5
My heart is saying one thing but my body won't let go."

     F5         G5         F5       C5     D5                    G5
With trembling hands she reaches out a strangers's flesh is offered

   F5       G5      F5       C5     F5       G5              F5      C5
And I would be the last to know  I would be the last to let it show

F5       G5      F5       C5        D5   G5
I would be the last to go.


Take her hand she will lead you through the fire
oh, and give you back hope and  hope that you won't take too much
respecting what is left she cradled us she held us in her arms
unselfish in her suffering she could not understand that
no one seemed to have the time to cherish what was given
I would be the last...[and so on]
