After the Last Tear Falls

Capo 3
D A G
After the last tear falls, after the last secret’s told
D A G
After the last bullet tears through flesh and bone
D A G A
After the last child starves, and the last girl walks the boulevard
Bm A
After the last year that’s just too hard
G A G A G
There is love, love, love, love. There is love love love love, There is love
D A G
After the last disgrace, after the last lie to save some face
D A G A
After the last brutal jab from a poison tongue
D A G A
After the last dirty politician, after the last meal down at the mission
Bm A G A
After the last lonely night in prison, there is love, love love love
G A G
There is love love, love, love. There is love
D(E) A(B) G(A)
And in the end, the end is oceans and oceans of love and love again
D(E) A(B)
We’ll see how the tears that have fallen were caught in palms
G(A) A(B)
Of the Giver of love and the lover of all
Bm(C#m) A(B) G(A)
And we’ll look back on these tears as old tales
E B A
After the last plan fails, after the last siren wails
E B A
After the last young husband sails off to join the war
E B
After the last this marriage is over,
A B
After the last young girls innocence is stolen
C#m B
After the last years of silence that won’t let a heart open
A B A
There is love love love love. There is love.
