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) ================================== And that's about it.
