Last Beat of My Heart
by Siouxsie and the Banshees
===============================
This is the song my wife and I danced to at our wedding, so I figure it should be the
first chord I ever submit! This is a very simple song and good for beginners. The
rhythm is reminiscent of a 50's era slow ballad. Play along with the song and you'll
have it in no time.
Intro: Just strum or pick a C maj (arpeggio sounds nice here)
In the sharp gust of love
My memory stirred
When time wreathed a rose
A garland of shame
Its thorn my only delight
War torn, afraid to speak
We dare to breathe
Majestic, Imperial,
A bridge of sighs
Solitude sails
In a wave of forgiveness
On angels' wings
Reach out your hands
Don't turn your back
Don't walk away
How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you
'Til the last beat
Of my heart
At the close of day
The sunset cloaks
These words in shadowplay
Here and now, long and loud
My heart cries out
And the naked bone of an echo says
Don't walk away
Reach out your hands
I'm just a step away
How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
Close to you
'Til the last beat
Of my heart
How in the world
Can I wish for this?
Never to be torn apart
'Til the last beat
'Til the last fleeting beat
Of my heart
(repeat to fade out)
