[D] [F#m] [G]
[D] [A] [G] [A]
[D] It used to be that old John [G] Wayne would fight the good fight once [D] again
Find the strength to [D] bear the pain [A] stand [G] up till he'd [A] finally fall
[D] But now it's not just move a time [G] and now it's you that's on the line
[D] And now it's you that's gonna find [A] if you can stand it all
[G] So you circle all [A] the wagons
[Bm] And you hide [F#m] behind the trees [G] and you've tried to [A] find some courage [D] on your knees
When [G] you hear the sound [A] of touch play
[Bm] By the one [F#m] man band [G] you knew this it [A] where you'd have to make [G] your last
And [D] so [G]
[D] [G]
[D] my friends the last day [G] last song for the last band
[D] Last note from the last man, [A] but you gave it all you can
[D] Cards came down to the last [G] deal
You're a starving man at his last meal [D] and the movies roll down to the last reel.
[A] It's got an ending
You never plan
[D] She's left you now.
So it seems [G] you tumble down
The last [D] dream and you found out that the final [A] dream can disappear so fast
[D] Watch it all just fade away [G] boy
It came down to the last day [D] and then the last doubt and then the last play [A] and you're alone
So [G] you circle [A] all the wagons
[Bm] And you hide [F#m] behind the trees [G] and you try to [A] find some courage [D] on your knees
When [G] you heard the [A] sound of touch play [Bm] by the [F#m] one man band
[G] You knew this is [A] where you'd have to make [G] your last Well
[D]
[G] [D]
[G] [D]
So it was the late last [G] night
She left on the final flight
[D] You watched as the last light [A] went out there in your soul
[D] Take your look around the top
[G] But now you face the final drop
[D] You'll go down fast and you won't [A] stop you found a very deep hole
[D] Say you're off on the last [G] ride
Remember now she laughs cry [D] and you know that love it long last [A] died
Silence not in pain
[D] You lost your last your last way
[G] Stumble any last place
[D] Too late to find the one last [A] face
Waiting in the rain
[G] So you circle [A] all the [Bm] wagons and then you hide [F#m] behind the trees
[G] And you try to [A] find some courage
[D] on your knees
[G] When you hear the sound [A] of touch play
[Bm] By your [F#m] one man band you [G] knew this is where [A] you'd have to make [G] your last
[D] [G]
[D] [G]
[D] [G]
[D] Oh
[G] [D] [G]
[D] [G] [D]
[G] [D]
[G]
