Last Fare Of The Day(Chords)

	        
 

For the strum pattern, I strum down once on the chord and then let it ring until  
changing to the next chord where I'll do an DDU and before the down of the next chord. 


Intro: GDEmCGDCC 

            G               D      
 I saw them standing in the rain 
 Em                C    
 Out on Seventh Avenue 
             G                     D              C  C         
 He held her close, like she might fall if he let go 
               G               D 
 He helped her in, he shut the door 
         Em              C  
 And our eyes met in the mirror 
          G                  D               G     C G 
 'To Englewood, just take it slow' is all he said 

              C                 Em 
 And into the stream we pulled away 
           D                 C 
 I know it well, this old ballet 
             C                 Em 
 Finding the flow, minding the sway 
          G                    C    C 
 Catching green lights all the way 

          G              D 
 Up Amsterdam, the meter dark 
 Em                  C 
 I turned off the radio 
                G                   D            C      C 
 She whispered 'Thanks, I could not bear another word.' 
            G                   D 
 Out on the bridge, the traffic slowed 
 Em                       C 
 The brake lights and the wash 
              G                D               G     C  G 
 Of all those truckers heading south on ninety-five 

                C               Em 
 And across the span we pulled away 
           D                 C    
 I know it well, this old ballet 
             C                 Em 
 Finding the flow, minding the sway 
          G                    C    C 
 Catching green lights all the way 
                    D 
 And I brought them home 
                Em    C 
 I brought them home 
                G            D            G     D  C  C 
 I brought them home in that cruel, cruel rain 

Bridge 

              G                       D 
 And now it's spring, and where's the rain 
 Em                        C 
 All the wells are running dry 
         G               D                   C    C 
 And the reservoirs have reached an all-time low 
             G              D 
 And if this red light ever turns 
 Em                           C 
 If I can make it through the park 
             G            D                G    C  G 
 I'll head uptown for the last fare of the day 

             C             Em 
 And turn it does, I pull away 
           D                 C 
 I know it well, this old ballet 
             C                 Em 
 Finding the flow, minding the sway 
          G                    C    C  
 Catching green lights all the way 

                G                D 
 And there they are, outside St. Luke's 
 Em                     C 
 With their flowers and balloons 
      G               D           C     C 
 All amazement at the baby in her arms 
          G              D 
 As Amsterdam makes us a place 
 Em              C 
 I ask about her name 
            G                  D                 G     C  G 
 And we all laugh when he says Hope and she says Grace 

             C                   Em 
 And then it starts, the heavens give 
           D                 C 
 I know it well, this old ballet 
             C                 Em 
 Finding the flow, minding the sway 
          G                    C    C 
 Catching green lights all the way 
                D 
 I brought them home 
           Em         C 
 I brought them home 
                G            D            Em    C 
 I brought them home in that sweet, sweet rain 
                G            D            G     C  G 
 I brought them home in that sweet, sweet rain
