This Could Be My Last Song

Frank Watkinson


Tom: Ab

[Intro] G

G
  Looking back on this life
Am7
   It's hard to understand
D7
   How time just seems to fly
C                         G
  When you are an older man

         G
Whatever happened to all those dreams I had
Am7
    And all those crazy plans
D7
   I never really got the chance to do
           C                        G
They just slipped right through my hands

            Am7
Through my hands
D7             G
   Through my hands

G
  Looking back on all I've learned
Am7
    I still find it hard to tell
         D7
If there really is a heaven
            C                G
Or if there really is a hell

        G
It's an age old conversation
             Am7
That's been had since dawn began
         D7
But you just seem to spend more time on it when
C                  G
  You're an older man

         Am7
An older man
D7          G
   An older man

     C                  D
And this could be the last song
G           Em       C
  My final swan song
D                         G
  Before the curtain call
C                    D
  I hope I played my part well
G            Em      C
  For I know so well
D               G
  There's no encores

( G )

G
  I often wonder what it is
Am7
    That we are all craving for
D7
   Some kind of justification
C                          G
  Now our time is getting short

        G
Is it intelligence or arrogance
               Am7
That makes us say there must be more
           D7
We can't accept this could be it
        C              G
And it leaves us so unsure

      Am7
So unsure
D7       G
   So unsure

              G
They say that wisdom comes with age
            Am7
But that's not always the case
                D7
And you'd be a fool to judge a wise man
             C                  G
Just by the lines upon his face

   G 
I know i've done some stupid things
      Am7
Some things I can't forget
        D7
And no time left to try to put them right
       C               G
Is the one thing I regret

      Am7
I regret
D7      G
   I regret

     C                  D
And this could be the last song
G           Em       C
  My final swan song
D                         G
  Before the curtain call
C                    D
  I hope I played my part well
G            Em      C
  For I know so well
D               G
  Here's no encores

( G )

     C                  D
And this could be the last song
G           Em       C
  My final swan song
D                         G
  Before the curtain call
C                    D
  I hope I played my part well
G            Em      C
  For I know so well
D               G
  There's no encores
