Last Thing On My Mind v3 Tom Paxton
The other versions I have seen are close but apparently tabbed by non-sixty folkies. The verse everyone has left out is the tongue -in-cheek reference to underground music, news, etc. of the era in which almost all folkies were performing the song.This verse (verse 3) is in every version I have heard by Paxton. Maybe I missed some versions where it was omitted by him. This version of chords is actually the same finger-pick chords played by Paxton. If you are a strummer the C+9 won't sound right unless you mute a couple of strings. The G modal chord in the refrain is to pick up the g note on the first string while playing a c bass note on the 5th string. When I get time, I will tab the entire finger-pick for the song. Last Thing on My Mind by Tom Paxton Verse 1: G |C |G |G It's a lesson too late for the learning, |C |G |D |G |G made of sand, made of sand. |G |C |G |G In the wink of an eye my soul is turning |C |G |D |G |G In your hand, in your hand. Refrain: |D |D |C+9 |G Are you going away with no word of farewell, |G |G |D |D Will there be not a trace left behind? |G |G |C |G modal I could have loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind |G |D |G You know 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 we walk along my thoughts are tumbling, Round and round, round and round. Underneath our feet the subway's rumbling, It's underground, it's underground. Repeat Refrain Verse 4: 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 or until someone boos! submitted by: C. D. Roper cdroper@starband.net {eot} A corrected version is also available
