Last Beat of My Heart by Siouxsie and the Banshees =============================== This is the song my wife and I danced to at our wedding, so I figure it should be the first chord I ever submit! This is a very simple song and good for beginners. The rhythm is reminiscent of a 50's era slow ballad. Play along with the song and you'll have it in no time. Intro: Just strum or pick a C maj (arpeggio sounds nice here) C In the sharp gust of love My memory stirred Am When time wreathed a rose A garland of shame F Its thorn my only delight War torn, afraid to speak C We dare to breathe Majestic, Imperial, A bridge of sighs Am Solitude sails In a wave of forgiveness C On angels' wings Reach out your hands Don't turn your back Am Don't walk away F How in the world Fm Can I wish for this? C C7 Never to be torn apart F Close to you Fm C 'Til the last beat Of my heart C At the close of day The sunset cloaks Am These words in shadowplay F Here and now, long and loud C My heart cries out Am And the naked bone of an echo says C Don't walk away F Fm Reach out your hands C C7 I'm just a step away F How in the world Fm Can I wish for this? C C7 Never to be torn apart F Close to you Fm C 'Til the last beat C7 Of my heart F How in the world Fm Can I wish for this? C C7 Never to be torn apart F 'Til the last beat Fm C 'Til the last fleeting beat C7 Of my heart F Fm C C7 (repeat to fade out) ================================== And that's about it.
