[Verse 1]
Am C
The stars are yesterday's confetti
G
And it's gone
Am C
I still see you standing barefoot on the jetty
G
And it's gone
D F C
Surrounded by a thousand empties in the cold grey dawn
Am C G
And the old cranes like dinosaur bones
[Chorus]
C G
Well it was the saddest, the saddest thing I've ever seen
C G
And it made me think of the one I love
C G G/F Em
I remember you as you turned and walked away
Am C G
When I saw the last ship on the river leave today
[Verse 2]
Am C
You were so capricious, so contrary
G
And it's gone
Am C
And we shared love's weird telepathy
G
But it's gone
D F C
And soon this place will be bulldozed away
Am C G
And only the river will remember this day
[Chorus]
C G
Yes, it was the saddest, the saddest thing I've ever seen
C G
And it made me think of the one I love
C G G/F Em
Well I remember you as you turned and walked away
Am C G
I saw the last ship on the river leave today
[Solo]
Am C G x2

G C G
[Verse 3]
Am C G
There's people waiting for the morning ferry in the rain
Am C G
And we all look so defeated and drained
D F C
Oh, something flexed within my memory, and I try to hold on
G C
But it's gone
G
It's gone, gone, gone
[Chorus]
C G
Yes, it was the saddest, the saddest thing I've ever seen
C G
And it made me think of the one I love
C G G/F Em
Well I remember, now I know why you went away
Am C G
I saw the last ship on the river leave today
Am C G
I saw the last ship on the river leave today
Am C G Am C N.C.
I saw the last ship on the river leave today
[Outro to fade]
Am C G
And it's gone, gone
Am C
Yeah, it's gone
G
Gone, gone, gone
Am C G
Yes, it's gone, it's gone
Am C
Well it's gone
G
Gone, gone, gone
Am C G
I still see you standing barefoot on the jetty, ooh-hoo
Am C
I still see you standing barefoot on the jetty
G
And I'm gone, gone, gone
Am C
I still see you standing barefoot on the jetty
G Am C G
And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
