The Last Thing on My Mind Tom Paxton
G C G C
It's a lesson too late for the learnin',
G D G
Made of sand, made of sand
C G C
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin',
G D G
In your hand, in your hand.
Chorus:
D C G
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
C G D D7
Will there be not a trace left behind?
G C
Well, I could have loved you better,
G
Didn't mean to be unkind,
D D7 G
You know that was the last thing on my mind.
G C G C
You've got reasons a-plenty for goin',
G D G
This I know, this I know.
C G C
For the weeds have been steadily growin',
G D G
Please don't go, please don't go.
Chorus:
G D C G
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
C G D D7
Will there be not a trace left behind?
G C
Well, I could have loved you better,
G
Didn't mean to be unkind;
D D7 G
You know that was the last thing on my mind.
G C G C
As we walk on, my thoughts keep tumblin',
G D G
Round and round, round and round
C G C
Underneath our feet the subways rumblin',
G D G
Underground, underground
Chorus:
D C G
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
C G D D7
Will there be not a trace left behind?
G C
Well, I could have loved you better,
G
Didn't mean to be unkind;
D D7 G
You know that was the last thing on my mind.
G C G C
As I lie in my bed in the mornin',
G D G
Without you, without you.
C G C
Every song in my breast lies a bornin',
G D G
Without you, without you.
Chorus:
D C G
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
C G D D7
Will there be not a trace left behind?

Well, I could have loved you better,
G
Didn't mean to be unkind,
D D7 G
You know that was the last thing on my mind
