The Last Thing On My Mind

Tom Paxton

capo 2

It's a Glesson too Clate for the Glearnin',
Cmade of GsandD, made of Gsand
In the wink of an Ceye my soul is Gturnin',
Cin your GhandD, in your Ghand.

chorus
Are you Dgoing away with no Cword of fareGwell,
will there Cbe not a Gtrace left beDhind?
Well, I Gcould have loved you Cbetter,
didn't Gmean to be unkind;
you Dknow that was the last thing on my Gmind.

You've got Greasons a-Cplenty for Ggoin',
Cthis I GknowD, this I Gknow.
For the weeds have been Csteadily Ggrowin',
Cplease don't Ggo,D please don't Ggo.

chorus

As we walk on, my Cthoughts keep Gtumblin',
Cround and GroundD, round and Ground
Underneath our feet the Csubways Grumblin',
CunderGgroundD, underGground

chorus

As I lie in my Cbed in the Gmornin',
Cwithout GyouD, without Gyou.
Every song in my Cbreast lies a Gbornin',
Cwithout GyouD, without Gyou.
