The Last Dance Ken Hensley
INTRO:
[Am] [G] [Am] [Em] [Am] [G] [Fmaj7] [G]
[Am] [G] [Am] [Em] [Am] [G] [Fmaj7] [G]
VERSE:
I [Am]met a sad old [G]gypsy on the r[Am]oad to Ber[Em]lin
By ch[Am]ance I got to sp[G]end a little [Fmaj7]time with him[G]
S[Am]hared a few life st[G]ories on that [Am]dusty old t[Em]rain
So I th[Am]ought I'd take a [Em]minute
Just to s[Fmaj7]hare them ag[G]ain with [Am]you
[Am] [G] [Am] [Em] [Am] [G] [Fmaj7] [G]
[Am] [G] [Am] [Em] [Am] [G] [Fmaj7] [G]
VERSE:
He t[Am]alked of all the tw[G]ists and turns he'd [Am]taken in l[Em]ife
And [Am]how his spirit cl[G]ung to God to[Fmaj7] do what was r[G]ight
S[Am]ure he got the pr[G]ize but he never c[Am]ounted the c[Em]ost
F[Am]elt his pain as he sh[Em]ared with me
[Fmaj7] All that [G]he had l[Am]ost
[Am] [G] [Am] [Em] [Am] [G] [Fmaj7] [G]
VERSE:
If [Am]you could only s[G]ee what was t[Am]here in his e[Em]yes
An e[Am]ternity of w[G]andering in s[Fmaj7]earch of the pr[G]ize
He'd [Am]had it all, the m[G]oney, all the f[Am]ame and rom[Em]ance
[Am]Now he shed a t[G]ear as he f[C]aced [G] the last d[Am]ance
BREAK:
The bl[Dm]essing comes but once he said
But it's n[C]ot for you, it must be shared
And [Bb]if you keep it to yourself
You'll [C]be no use to anyone else
And [Dm]he who gives will take away
And y[C]ou will face the same dark day
That [Bb]even now is all my pain
[C] I'll never have this d[E]ance ag[Am]ain
BREAK 2:
Ch[C]ances, d[G]ances, how q[Dm]uickly this life p[C]asses
[Am]All our hopes and a[F]ll our dreams
Get l[E]ost in all our selfish schemes
You see, it's n[C]ot about you, it's n[G]ot about me
It's ab[Dm]out loving something [C]we can't see
It's [Am]all about what we are w[F]illing to share
It's ab[E]out our hearts and who lives th[F]ere
INSTRUMENTAL:

[F] [G] [Fm] [Bb] [F] [G] [Ab] [Bb] [F] [G]
[Fm] [Bb] [F] [G] [Fm] [Bb] [F] [G] [Fm] [Bb]
VERSE:
As the t[Cm]rain rolled into the c[Bb]ity
He shook his h[Cm]ead as if to [Bb]say
It's y[Cm]our turn now, just k[Bb]now the game
That y[Ab]ou're about to p[Bb]lay
And it se[Cm]emed as if right t[Bb]here and then
A l[Cm]ight came to his e[Bb]yes
As [Cm]he exchanged the d[Bb]ance of life
For a [Ab]far better p[Bb]rize
BREAK:
And [Dm]so the tired old gy[C]psy drifted s[Dm]lowly aw[C]ay
B[Dm]eaten by the g[C]ame he'd taught so [Bb]many to p[C]lay
He s[Dm]aid "I'd do it a[C]ll again if[Dm] I had the ch[C]ance"
But I'm r[Dm]eady now for o[C]ne more bow
I'll t[Bb]ake [C] the last d[Bb]ance
