Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: G

Difficulty: Novice

Chorus:

G             D
The last, the very last,
   C                 D              D
So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow.
G              C                 D
Perhaps if the sun's tears would sing
               G
against a white stone...

Verse 1:

G            C
Such, such a yellow
   D                        G
Is carried lightly ‘way up high.
G                    C           D
It went away I'm sure because it wished
                         G
to kiss the world goodbye.


Chorus:

    G         D
The last, the very last,
   C                 D              D
So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow.
G              C                 D
Perhaps if the sun's tears would sing
               G
against a white stone...


Verse 2:

G                    C
For seven weeks I've lived in here,
       D              G                 D               D
Penned up inside this ghetto But I have found my people here.
G               C                 D                        G          C
The dandelions call to me And the white chestnut candles in the court.
       D                      G
Only I never saw another butterfly.


Chorus:

    G         D
The last, the very last,
   C                 D              D
So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow.
G              C                 D
Perhaps if the sun's tears would sing
               G
against a white stone...


Outro:

     G                C
That butterfly was the last one.
C                 D       G
Butterflies don't live in here,
