The Last Fare of the Day Richard Shindell
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G D Em C G D C G
I saw them standing in the [D]rain[Em]
Out on 7th Ave[C]nue
He held her [G]close, like she might [D]fall
If he let [C]go
He helped her [G]in, he shut the [D]door
And our [Em]eyes met in the [C]mirror
"To Engle[G]wood, just take it [D]slow"
Was all he [G]said[C] [G]
CHORUS:
Into the [C]stream, we pulled a[Em]way
I know it [D]well, this old bal[C]let
Finding the flow, minding the [Em]sway
Catching [G]green lights all the [C]way
Up Amster[G]dam, the meter [D]dark[Em]
I turned off the radi[C]o
She whispered, "[G]Thanks, I could not [D]bear
Another [C]word."[G] [C]
Out on the [G]bridge, the traffic [D]slowed[Em]
The brake-lights and the [C]wash
Of all those [G]truckers heading [D]south
On Ninety-[G]Five[C] [G]
CHORUS:
Across the [C]Strand, we pulled a[Em]way
I know it [D]well, this old bal[C]let
Finding the flow, minding the [Em]sway
Catching [G]green lights all the [C]way
I brought them [D]home, I brought them [Em]home__[C]_
I brought them [G]home in that [D]cruel, cruel [G]rain
INTERLUDE: D Em C G D C
And now it's [G]spring, and where's the [D]rain?[Em]
All the wells are running [C]dry
And the [G]reservoirs have [D]reached
An all-time [C]low
And if this [G]red light ever [D]turns[Em]
If I can make it through the [C]park
I'll head up[G]town for the [D]last
Fare of the [G]day[C] [G]
CHORUS:
And turn it [C]does, I pull a[Em]way
I know it [D]well, this old bal[C]let
Finding the flow, minding the [Em]sway
Catching [G]green lights all the [C]way
And there they [G]are, outside St. [D]Luke's [Em]
With their flowers and bal[C]loons
All a[G]mazement at the [D]baby
In her [C]arms
As Amster[G]dam makes us a [D]place[Em]
I ask about her [C]name
We all [G]laugh when he says, "[D]Hope"
And she says, "[G]Grace"
CHORUS:
And then it [C]starts, the heavens [Em]give
I know it [D]well, this old bal[C]let
Finding the flow, minding the [Em]sway
Catching [G]green lights all the [C]way
I brought them [D]home, I brought them [Em]home__[C]_
I brought them [G]home in that [D]sweet, sweet [Em]rain[D] [C]
I brought them [G]home in that [D]sweet, sweet [G]rain [C] [G]
