ONE LAST ROUND (Ron Sexsmith)
Album "Exit Strategy of the Soul" (2008)
[Intro]
F#m B E Bm A E
[Verse 1]
B E A G#m A
Wonder of wonders our eyes behold this scaffold of stars
B E A G#m
But look under for truth be told
A E
We're leaving a scar on everything we've found
F#m B E
And we're going into town for one last round
Bm A E
One last round
[Verse 2]
B E A G#m A
If all that glitters is not gold should our rainbow's end
B E A G#m
Be just the winter cruel and cold
A E
Of our discontent my friends we're trouble bound
F#m B E
Yet we're going into town for one last round
Bm A E
One last round, one last round
[Bridge]
Em7 A E
And it's the children who have yet to come who'll have to pay our tab
Em7 A E
What kind of world will we have left for them the odds now will be stacked
[Instrumental]
Bm A E (x2)
[Verse 3]
B E A G#m A
We've all the wisdom our minds can hold but no common sense
B E A G#m
All the live long day the joke
A E
Was at our own expense we've drained our bottles down
F#m B E
And we're going into town for one last round
Bm A E
One last round, one last round
F#m B E
Yes we're going into town for one last round
Bm A E
One last round, one last round
[Outro]
F#m B E Bm A E
