Jeff Buckley – Last Goodbye

Chords used: Dsus4/D, Bm, A, Em, G, D, A7, C
Progression: Dsus4/D, Bm, A, Em (iii), G (V), D, A7, C (I)

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it’s over
Just hear this and then I’ll go :
you gave me more to live for,
more than you’ll ever know.

Dsus4/D etc
This is our last embrace,
must I dream and always see your face
Why can’t we overcome this wall
Baby, maybe it is just because I didn’t know you at all.

(Weird chords — kind of Dm then Gm7, repeated)

Kiss me, please, kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know, it makes me so angry ’cause I know that in time
I’ll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.

Bm/A/G/A/Bm/A/Em/A/Bm/A/G

Did you say ”no, this can’t happen to me,”
and did you rush to the phone to call?
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying,
Em/Am C G
“maybe… you didn’t know him at all.”
D Dmaj7
Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
D7 Dmaj7/D
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memory
Of her sighs that, “it’s over… it’s over…”

Dm/Gm7 twice, then A7-G-C (last chord left hanging)

*Note:
The Dsus means D suspended, and it’s easy (and nice). It’s just a standard D major with
an added 4th note, as follows
E |—|-2-|(4)| The 2/3/1 chord is the D major. Adding the (4)
B |—|—|-3-| turns it into a Dsus
G |—|-1-|—|
D |—|—|—|
A |—|—|—|
E |—|—|—|
