Last Goodbye - Jeff Buckley
 
    A quick note that this song is played in open D tuning
    This is tabbed for standard. As a result lots of times
    any chord in the key of D sounds good so really you have
    to use your ear and play whatever you think sounds best.
    Also play close attention to the timing. There's a tab at
    below with suggestions on how to play the main riff.
 
 
    Intro (play as A shape barre chords)
 
    A - C - G - D x4

             G
    But it's over 
 
             D

    Must I dream and always see your face 
 
        Em                     D
    Why can't we overcome this wall 
 
    A                   C          G                       D

    But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation 
 
                A             C            G                     D

Interlude
 
|--------- same as verse -------| 
 
D - Bm - A - Em - G - D - A - G - Bm - G - Bm - G - D
 
    D            A               G
    Did you say 'no, this can't happen to me,'  
 
D               A             G
    And did you rush to the phone to call 
 
                D                    A            G
    Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind 
 
            Em  Em7   Dsus2/F#           D
    Saying maaaaaaaaybeeeeeee you didn't know him at all 
 
               G
    You didn't know him at all, oh, you didn't know 
 
A - C - G - D x2
 
 
             D
    Well, the bells out in the church tower chime 
 
            A                 G        D
    Burning clues into this heart of mine 
 
             A              G                   G
    Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories 
 
          A               C  D
    Offer signs that it's over... 
 
         A       D
    it's oveeeeeeeer
 
    D
 
 
 
Some notes:
 
Firstly an alternative way to play the intro is in a tab on this website, substitute that for mine
if you want.
