Richard Shindell - The Last Fare Of The Day


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G

              D MajorD   E minorEm
I saw them standing in the rain
       C majorC
Out on 7th Avenue
      G+G           D MajorD
He held her close, like she might fall
     C majorC
If he let go

       G+G        D MajorD
He helped her in, he shut the door
    E minorEm       C majorC
And our eyes met in the mirror
     G+G         D MajorD
"To Englewood, just take it slow"
      G+G  C majorC G+G
Was all he said


CHORUS:
     C majorC         E minorEm
Into the stream, we pulled away
     D MajorD         C majorC
I know it well, this old ballet
               E minorEm
Finding the flow, minding the sway
     G+G          C majorC
Catching green lights all the way


     G+G       D MajorD   E minorEm
Up Amsterdam, the meter dark
           C majorC
I turned off the radio
        G+G          D MajorD
She whispered, "Thanks, I could not bear
    C majorC   G+G C majorC
Another word."


      G+G          D MajorD    E minorEm
Out on the bridge, the traffic slowed
             C majorC
The brake-lights and the wash
       G+G        D MajorD
Of all those truckers heading south
     G+G  C majorC G+G
On Ninety-Five

CHORUS:
      C majorC         E minorEm
Across the Strand, we pulled away
     D MajorD         C majorC
I know it well, this old ballet
               E minorEm
Finding the flow, minding the sway
     G+G          C majorC
Catching green lights all the way
        D MajorD          E minorEm  C majorC
I brought them home, I brought them home___
        G+G      D MajorD      G+G
I brought them home in that cruel, cruel rain


INTERLUDE: D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC


       G+G            D MajorD    E minorEm
And now it's spring, and where's the rain?
             C majorC
All the wells are running dry
    G+G        D MajorD
And the reservoirs have reached
      C majorC
An all-time low


      G+G       D MajorD    E minorEm
And if this red light ever turns
               C majorC
If I can make it through the park
      G+G      D MajorD
I'll head uptown for the last
      G+G  C majorC G+G
Fare of the day


CHORUS:
      C majorC       E minorEm
And turn it does, I pull away
     D MajorD         C majorC
I know it well, this old ballet
               E minorEm
Finding the flow, minding the sway
     G+G          C majorC
Catching green lights all the way


        G+G        D MajorD    E minorEm
And there they are, outside St. Luke's
             C majorC
With their flowers and balloons
   G+G        D MajorD
All amazement at the baby
    C majorC
In her arms


     G+G       D MajorD    E minorEm
As Amsterdam makes us a place
        C majorC
I ask about her name
    G+G          D MajorD
We all laugh when he says, "Hope"
        G+G
And she says, "Grace"


CHORUS:
      C majorC          E minorEm
And then it starts, the heavens give
     D MajorD         C majorC
I know it well, this old ballet
               E minorEm
Finding the flow, minding the sway
     G+G          C majorC
Catching green lights all the way
        D MajorD          E minorEm  C majorC
I brought them home, I brought them home___
        G+G      D MajorD      E minorEm   D MajorD C majorC
I brought them home in that sweet, sweet rain
        G+G      D MajorD      G+G   C majorC G+G
I brought them home in that sweet, sweet rain
