_ _ _ _ _ On the [G] last night of [Eb] summer [G] I felt like a mother _ _ Parading myself _ across [D] the bright stage
[Bb] My [C] smile was a mask so that no one would [Bb] ask If the [C] tears in my eyes were from sadness
or [G]
rage Through dances _ _ [Gm] reclinging
I could hear [G] myself singing [Gm] _
Words that were meant [G] to be sweet [D] on the
tongue [Gm] But [C] they tasted like ash so I [Cm] sang for the
cash [Bb] That was [C] promised to me when this torture
was [Gm] done _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I [G] _ [F] fell into [Eb] the _ _ music

[Gm] the music _ _ _ _ _ There _ _ were [G] twenty-four wines
[Gm] Ladies dressed to the [Cm] nines [G] _ People to revel [D] and people to serve _
[C] The grand summer [Bb] ball But it [C] all seemed so [Bb] small
From the [C] stage high above [Eb] I could [G] only _ observe
[C] When I [G] saw him standing [Gm]
Just beyond the ground
The glitter of the [G] _ _ _ [D] ornamentation And the _ dazzling sights
[Eb] _ _ [C] Contrast and starkness [D] _ _ [C] Brightness to [Bb] darkness
Like he [C] reached out his [D] hand And [G] turned [Gm] off the _ _ lights _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ While the faint [Eb] scent of jasmine came Something [Gm] that I feel
_ _ _ Memory _ inhaled [D] out of my soul [C] A smile from the [Bb] past
That the [C] days can't [D] outlast _ [C] Dark eyes that burn like [G] _ embers
[Gm] How come was I dreaming his face Or [G] was he here in this place
[Gm] Just [G] a flicker away [D] from the [Bb] party lights
Go, [Eb] was he [C] here in disguise [Bb] _
Or a [C] trick of my eyes
A bad _ dream [D] or just a [Gm] shadow _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I fell [F] into [Eb] the _ _ _ night I [G] _ fell [Eb] into the _ night
_ [G] I _ fell into [Eb] the _ [C] night So far from [G] the light
And the smile's polite [C] I _ [Eb]
fell into the night _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, [G] he moved the crowd More of the night [Eb] like a shroud
As they [G] cheered and applauded [D] My last curtain call
_ The crowd [C] seemed to sway And he faded [Cm] _
away
[Bb] On this [Cm] last night of summer [D] _ _ Before _ [F] _
the fall _ _ _ _
