This is a beginning - listen to the song to get the hammer ons - not to
 difficult. Rest In Peace  Dan.

The Last Nail                   (capo up one to match album)

Intro  - hammer on with C and  F7

C         Am7       Em         Em7  
I saw you running ahead of the crowd 
F                                 C        G     
I chased but never thought I'd catch you 
C           Am7               Em       Em7               F 
You said you loved me but you had to be free and I let you 
F              C   G
Why did I let you 
C          Am7                 Em           Em7
We walked together through the gardens and graves
F                             C     G 
I watched you grow to be a woman 
C          Am7          Em      Em7       F         
Living on promises that nobody gave to no one 
F                       C   Em   A  
They were given to no one 

Electric break   -  A  D   Am    D

C
I started listening to the wind and the rain 
You strained your ears but could hear nothing 
One night I thought I heard them whisper my name 
And I went running 
I left a trail of footprints deep in the snow 
I swore one day I would retrace them 
But when I turned around I found that the wind had erased them 
F                     C     Em     A 
Now I'll never replace them 
Electric break

(Chorus) 
G       Em               A        C
Fly away, my sweet bird, over the land
 G   Em                A          C
Take life for all the freedom you can 
G       Em      A            C        
But if you ever should need a man
C         A           C 
Well, the offer still stands

break - starts with the C to F7 hammer on again.

C               Am7       Em          Em7
I hear you've taken on a husband and child 
And live somewhere in Pennsylvania 
I never thought you'd ever sever the string but I can't blame you none 
So let the ashes fall and lay where they will 
Just say that once you used to know me 
One last time sing that old song we used to know
     F                 F                                 C    Em A
But this time sing - But this time sing a little more slowly 

(Chorus)

Ends with a hammer on from G to C
