Last Thing On My Mind chords
Tom Paxton 1964

Open or Capo I*

G C G C G D G

G C G
It's a lesson too late for the learnin',
C G D G

made of sand, made of sand
C G
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin',
C G D G
in your hand, in your hand.

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
You've got reasons a-plenty for goin',
C G D G
this I know, this I know.
C G
For the weeds have been steadily growin',
C G D G
please don't go, please don't go.

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.

C G
As we walk on, my thoughts keep tumblin',
C G D G
round and round, round and round
C G
Underneath our feet the subways rumblin',
C G D G
underground, underground

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.

C G
As I lie in my bed in the mornin',
C G D G
without you, without you.
C G
Every song in my breast lies a bornin',
C G D G
without you, without you.

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.
