Last Goodbye  Jeff Buckley

BAND: Jeff Buckley
SONG: Last Goodbye
ALBUM: Grace
TABBED BY: el sancco (sancco@hotmail.com)
This is a beautiful song, and Jeff's most well known. I hope this helps
you to play it accurately. Wow, it's a long tab! Make note of the tuning
before you play though, otherwise it wont really sound anything like the
actual song. This is all my own work, so please notify me for permission
if you wish to claim credit it or what have you. Thanks!
INTRO: - Slide guitar.

[G5]Was there a [D]voice unkind[Gmaj7/B]
In the [Daad11]back of your mind,
Em7* Bm7* Am11 G5 Cadd9
Sayin', "May - hey - be you didn't know him at all,
You didn't [G/B]know him at all, oh, you didn't know."

[G/D]Well, the bells out in the [D6]church tower chime,[G/D] [D6]
Cadd9 G Aaad11* G
Burning clues into this heart of mine.
Thinkin' [C/D]so hard on her [D]soft eyes and the [C/D]memory
Of her sigh[D]s that it's all over... it's over.
END: - Comes in at "it's all" in previous verse.
