One Last Cold Kiss chords by Gail Collins

INTRO:

Am        C         D         F     G   A
.    /     /     /     /     /




Am                                G
Two island swans, mated for their life
Am                                   G              Am
And his faithful heart would not consider any other wife.
    Am                                               G
For three years peaceful joy midst the rushes of the pond
Am                                     G               Am
Proud and gentle was the loving of the last two island swans.

REPEAT INTRO

And their love was like a circle, no beginning and no end
With his lady by his side a treasure and a best friend.
The pond was all so peaceful in the rising of the sun
Young and free as the island breeze their life had just begun.

REPEAT INTRO

'Til a dread day in November when the searing cold did start
Stalked the hunter with his bow and put an arrow through her heart.
Husband come to my side let your feathers warm my pain
For I feel I will not spend another day with you again.

CHORUS:

        C    G     Am
And the cold winds blow
C         G         Em
He was brave but he's laid low.
       C           G      Em
By her body in the island mist,
(n.c.)
A C   D   E    E   D   E    G    A     A   C    D    Am
I saw him give her one last cold kiss, one last cold kiss.

REPEAT INTRO

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK (x2)

 E D C D C A   G  A   E D C D C A G   E D C D C A   G  A  G A D E C D G A
     /     /     /     /     /     /     /

Of swans the people talk of only one in this day's tide
Though they brought him twenty ladies he would take no other bride.
And they say he will not come from the spot where she did fall
Once so proud he's beaten now and he will not speak at all.
