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

^CI saw you ^Am7running ah^Emead of the ^Em7crowd ^FI chased but never thought I'd cat^Cch you ^G ^CYou said you^Am7 loved me but you ^Emhad to be^Em7 free and I let yo^Fu ^FWhy did I let y^Cou ^G ^CWe walked t^Am7ogether through the ^Emgardens and g^Em7raves ^FI watched you grow to be a wom^Can ^G ^CLiving on p^Am7romises that ^Emnobody g^Em7ave to no ^Fone ^FThey were given to no on^Ce ^Em ^A

Electric break - A D Am D

^CI 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 ^FNow I'll never replace^C them ^Em ^A Electric break

(Chorus)

^GFly away^Em, my sweet bird, ^Aover the ^Cland T^Gake ^Emlife for all the f^Areedom you ^Ccan ^GBut if y^Emou ever ^Ashould need a^C man ^CWell, the ^Aoffer still ^Cstands

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

^CI hear you've ta^Am7ken on a h^Emusband and c^Em7hild 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 But t^Fhis time sing - Bu^Ft this time sing a little more slo^Cwly ^Em ^A

(Chorus) Ends with a hammer on from G to C ------------ This is my first post - if you hate it - post one better.
