The Last Songbird chords by The Fratellis

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
(B E B E) x2


Verse:
  B          E
The sun went down like a vision on the hill
  B                E
She knows she never knew him and she knows she never will
    B      F#      G#m   E
And the band played "Where's Your Lost Love Gone?"
  F#
On and on

     B             E
There was nothing too good for this English Rose
  B            E
He knew she had a heart but where God only knows
   B    F#   B   E
So he left her nowhere bound
B     A#  A
Listen to the sound


Chorus:

  E
Of one hand clap in the pale of the moonlight
B
All those years frozen in the spotlight
F#
Nowhere now maybe somehow
     B
They just burned too bright?
B       A#    A
Even when they won they always


E
Lost themselves to the sideways glances
B
Praying to the saints of doomed romances
F#
Tell their tale, love is not for sale
    B    E
It's a word you heard
  F#
The last songbird



Verse:

    B            E
So they walked for miles in the dead heat sun
B               E
From those memories they could never outrun
    B       F#    G#m   E
And the band played, "Where Did Our Love Go?"
   F#
Who could know?


     B           E
He would throw himself at her feet and plead,
B               E
give me everything, I want and nothing that I need
    B    F#  B   E
But to you I'm always bound
B     A#  A
Listen to the sound



Chorus:

  E
Of one hand clap in the pale of the moonlight
B
All those years frozen in the spotlight
F#
Nowhere now maybe somehow
     B
They just burned too bright?
B       A#    A
Even when they won they always


E
Lost themselves to the sideways glances
B
Praying to the saints of doomed romances
F#
Tell their tale love is not for sale
    B    E
It's a word you heard
  F#
The last songbird



Bridge:
E
Under this crooked spell
D#m
How could anybody resist?
E
He keeps her under lock and key
  D#m
She keeps him on her to do list

A
Porcelain nights and skin tight moves
   G#m
They live between the comedy and comedown blues
  A
In love and war, all is lost and found
D            F#
Is it just a case of the last shakedown?

     B
While the world spins every way but 'round and around
    B          B
All is simple on the upside down
(B)    (A#) (A)
Listen to the sound ----------------
       B     A# A   B
--------------Listen to the sound of....



Chorus:

E
One hand clap in the pale of the moonlight
B
All those years frozen in the spotlight
F#
Nowhere now maybe somehow
     B
They just burned too bright
B       A#    A
Even when they won they always

E
Lost themselves to the sideways glances
B
Praying to the saints of doomed romances
F#
Tell their tale love is not for sale
    B    E
It's a word you heard
  F#       (F#)     B
The last.......... song.........bird
