	Last Thing on My Mind
	by Tom Paxton

4/4 time

Verse 1:
       |D         |G           |D      |D
It's a lesson too late for the learning,
        |A  |A        |D   |D
made of sand, made of sand.
       |D         |G             |D     |D
In the wink of an eye my soul is turning
        |A  |A        |D   |D
In your hand, in your hand.

Refrain:
        |A     |A          |G          |G
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           |D       |D           |A   |A
Will there be not a trace left behind?
  |D                   |G               |A           |F#m
I could have loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind
|G           |G               |D
That was the last thing on my mind.

Verse 2:
You've got reasons aplenty for going.
This I know, this I know.
For the weeds have been steadily growing.
Please don't go, please don't go.

Repeat Refrain

Verse 3:
As I lie here in bed in the morning
without you, without you.
Every song in my breast dies a borning
without you, without you.

Repeat Refrain twice
