Last to Know Lyrics

By Alejandro Escovedo
Intro: G (repeat for 4 bars)
Verse:
The last to know, party's over and we won't go
No one to laugh at our jokes anymore
there's the door, don't forget your hat.
the stores are all closed, couldn't buy a break anyway
saint jude he couldn't save you or me, I suppose
C D G G/f# Em
More miles than money, look at out lives and it's so funny
C D G G/f# Em
More miles than money, we fall in love and it's never funny
We're the last, very last to know.
Verse:
Last to know, we play the jokers in this minstrel show
Cause no one cares in this showbiz crowd anymore.
Got another cigarrette, i'm not quite through with this story yet,
Nothing left here that we should fear, I suppose.
Pedal steel solo: use verse chords
Verse:
Nothing here that we should fear so I'm told.
As the night slips away and we stumble towards another day
there's nothing more that we can say, i suppose.
Chords:
G: 3-2-0-0-3-3----|
C: x-3-2-0-1-0----|
D: x-0-0-2-3-2----|
G/f#: 2-0-0-0-3-3-|
Em: 0-2-2-0-0-0---|
That's basically it. if you can find a way to tab the solo for guitar,
please let me know.
