        THE LAST DANCE (EL GITANO VIEJO)
             KEN HENSLEY

INTRO:
A minorAm G+G  A minorAm E minorEm  A minorAm G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G
A minorAm G+G  A minorAm E minorEm  A minorAm G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G

VERSE:
 A minorAm      G+G       A minorAm    E minorEm
I met a sad old gypsy on the road to Berlin
   A minorAm       G+G      Fmaj7Fmaj7     G+G
By chance I got to spend a little time with him
 A minorAm         G+G       A minorAm     E minorEm
Shared a few life stories on that dusty old train
    A minorAm        E minorEm
So I thought I'd take a minute
     Fmaj7Fmaj7    G+G    A minorAm
Just to share them again with you

A minorAm G+G  A minorAm E minorEm  A minorAm G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G
A minorAm G+G  A minorAm E minorEm  A minorAm G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G


VERSE:
  A minorAm         G+G          A minorAm    E minorEm
He talked of all the twists and turns he'd taken in life
  A minorAm        G+G      Fmaj7Fmaj7     G+G
And how his spirit clung to God to do what was right
 A minorAm        G+G         A minorAm     E minorEm
Sure he got the prize but he never counted the cost
 A minorAm          E minorEm
Felt his pain as he shared with me
Fmaj7Fmaj7     G+G    A minorAm
   All that he had lost

A minorAm G+G  A minorAm E minorEm  A minorAm G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7 G+G


VERSE:
  A minorAm       G+G      A minorAm      E minorEm
If you could only see what was there in his eyes
  A minorAm     G+G      Fmaj7Fmaj7     G+G
An eternity of wandering in search of the prize
   A minorAm        G+G       A minorAm     E minorEm
He'd had it all, the money, all the fame and romance
A minorAm       G+G     C majorC  G+G      A minorAm
Now he shed a tear as he faced  the last dance

BREAK:
   DmDm
The blessing comes but once he said
     C majorC
But it's not for you, it must be shared
  Bb majorBb
And if you keep it to yourself
    C majorC
You'll be no use to anyone else
  DmDm
And he who gives will take away
   C majorC
And you will face the same dark day
   Bb majorBb
That even now is all my pain
C majorC           E MajorE   A minorAm
 I'll never have this dance again


BREAK 2:
 C majorC    G+G      DmDm        C majorC
Chances, dances, how quickly this life passes
A minorAm         FF
All our hopes and all our dreams
   E MajorE
Get lost in all our selfish schemes
        C majorC          G+G
You see, it's not about you, it's not about me
    DmDm          C majorC
It's about loving something we can't see
   A minorAm           FF
It's all about what we are willing to share
    E MajorE               FF
It's about our hearts and who lives there

VERSE:
    C minorCm          Bb majorBb
As the train rolled into the city
       C minorCm      Bb majorBb
He shook his head as if to say
   C minorCm         Bb majorBb
It's your turn now, just know the game
   AbAb       Bb majorBb
That you're about to play
     C minorCm        Bb majorBb
And it seemed as if right there and then
  C minorCm        Bb majorBb
A augmentedA light came to his eyes
  C minorCm        Bb majorBb
As he exchanged the dance of life
   AbAb     Bb majorBb
For a far better prize


BREAK:
  DmDm         C majorC      DmDm   C majorC
And so the tired old gypsy drifted slowly away
 DmDm      C majorC         Bb majorBb    C majorC
Beaten by the game he'd taught so many to play
  DmDm       C majorC     DmDm      C majorC
He said "I'd do it all again if I had the chance"
     DmDm      C majorC
But I'm ready now for one more bow
   Bb majorBb C majorC     Bb majorBb
I'll take the last dance
