Last Thing on My Mind

by Tom Paxton

4/4 time

Verse 1:

|D |G |D |D

It's a lesson too late for the learning,

|A |A |D |D

made of sand, made of sand.

|D |G |D |D

In the wink of an eye my soul is turning

|A |A |D |D

In your hand, in your hand.

Refrain:

|A |A |G |G

Are you going away with no word of farewell,

|D |D |A |A

Will there be not a trace left behind?

|D |G |A |F#m

I could have loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind

|G |G |D

That was the last thing on my mind.

Verse 2:

You've got reasons aplenty for going.

This I know, this I know.

For the weeds have been steadily growing.

Please don't go, please don't go.

Repeat Refrain

Verse 3:

As I lie here in bed in the morning

without you, without you.

Every song in my breast dies a borning

without you, without you.

Repeat Refrain twice
