The Last Fare Of The Day by Richard Shindell
The Last Fare Of The Day
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G D Em C G D C G
D Em
I saw them standing in the rain
C
Out on 7th Avenue
G D
He held her close, like she might fall
C
If he let go
G D
He helped her in, he shut the door
Em C
And our eyes met in the mirror
G D
"To Englewood, just take it slow"
G C G
Was all he said
CHORUS:
C Em
Into the stream, we pulled away
D C
I know it well, this old ballet
Em
Finding the flow, minding the sway
G C
Catching green lights all the way
G D Em
Up Amsterdam, the meter dark
C
I turned off the radio
G D
She whispered, "Thanks, I could not bear
C G C
Another word."
G D Em
Out on the bridge, the traffic slowed
C
The brake-lights and the wash
G D
Of all those truckers heading south
G C G
On Ninety-Five
CHORUS:
C Em
Across the Strand, we pulled away
D C
I know it well, this old ballet
Em
Finding the flow, minding the sway
G C
Catching green lights all the way
D Em C
I brought them home, I brought them home___
G D G
I brought them home in that cruel, cruel rain
INTERLUDE: D Em C G D C
G D Em
And now it's spring, and where's the rain?
C
All the wells are running dry
G D
And the reservoirs have reached
C
An all-time low
G D Em
And if this red light ever turns
C
If I can make it through the park
G D
I'll head uptown for the last
G C G
Fare of the day
CHORUS:
C Em
And turn it does, I pull away
D C
I know it well, this old ballet
Em
Finding the flow, minding the sway
G C
Catching green lights all the way
G D Em
And there they are, outside St. Luke's
C
With their flowers and balloons
G D
All amazement at the baby
C
In her arms
G D Em
As Amsterdam makes us a place
C
I ask about her name
G D
We all laugh when he says, "Hope"
G
And she says, "Grace"
CHORUS:
C Em
And then it starts, the heavens give
D C
I know it well, this old ballet
Em
Finding the flow, minding the sway
G C
Catching green lights all the way
D Em C
I brought them home, I brought them home___
G D Em D C
I brought them home in that sweet, sweet rain
G D G C G
I brought them home in that sweet, sweet rain
