[Verse 1]
G#m E G#m
I am not, that good anymore, and maybe I never was,
G#m E
But I'll play my heart out for you, one more time.
G#m E G#m F# C#
For in my old age, all I can do is play for you a song from my youth.
[Chorus]
G#m E G#m E
So let me share my gift, with you once more,
G#m E F# G#m
Just like we had in the past, so many times before.
G#m E F# x2
[Verse 2]
G#m E
My hands may shake, my muscles are weak,
G#m E F#
I'm not strong as I used to be.
G#m E
But still I will play for you, and leave you with a song,
G#m F# C#
For when you have music you're never alone.
[Chorus]
G#m E G#m E
Let me share my gift, with you once more
G#m E F#
Just like we had in the past, so many times before
G#m E G#m E
The song of redemption is all that I am,
G#m E F# G#m
For in the end, the music is all that I have.
[Bridge]
G#m E F#
And though it feels incomplete, the deadline has come for me.
G#m E F#
I must present to you, My 'masterpiece'...
G#m E F#
For time is short in my condition, the song of redemption
G#m C# E F# G#m
Will be the final composition, from this tired musician.
G#m F# (x3
C# B
[Bridge 2]
E F# G#m F# E F# G#m F# E
Please give me your attention and I will remedy, this silent tension
E F# G#m F#
And I hope that you will remember,
E F# G#m F# E
I hope the memories will leave a lasting impression
E G#m B E F#
Of me, when I'm gone. Gone. After I am gone.
G#m D#m E F#m
I don't need to concentrate, I can close my eyes.
G#m D#m
And though you'll hear this song but once,
E F#m
I've rehearsed it, a thousand times.
F#m G#m
But what will you say, after I'm done?
F#m G#m
After I've attempted to play the song of redemption.
F#m G#m
And what will you say, after I'm gone?
F#m G#m (x3) F#
After I've attempted to play the song of redemption.
G#m (x3) F#
G#m (x3) F#
G#m (x2) B C#
