The Last Fare Of The Day Chords by Richard Shindell

[A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ [E] _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _
I saw them standing [E] in the rain _
[F#m] Out on [D] 7th Avenue
He [A] held her close [E] like she might fall
If he [D] let go, _ _ _ he [A] helped her in
[E] He shut the door and [A] [F#m] our eyes met [E] in [D] the mirror
To [A] Englewood, just [E] take it slow
Is all he [A] said
_ [E] _ [A] _ Into [F#m] the stream we pulled away
I [E] know it well, [D] this old ballet
[F#m] Finding [D] the flow, [A] [F#m] minding the sway
[G#m]
[A] Catching green lights [D] all the way
_ _ [E] _
[A] Up Amsterdam, the [E] meter dark _
[F#m] I turned off the [D] radio
And she [A] whispered thanks
[E] I could not bear another [D] word
_ [A] _
_ [E] Out [A] on the bridge, [E] the traffic slowed
[F#m] In the brake lights [D] and the wash
Of [A] all those truckers [E] heading south [A] on 95
Across _ _ [D] the span, [F#m] we pulled away
I [E] know it well, this [D] old ballet
Finding the flow, [F#m] minding the sway
[A] Catching green lights [D] all the way
I _
[E] brought them home
_ I [F#m] brought them _ [D] home
_ [A] I brought them [E] home
In my cruel, [A] cruel rain _
[E] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[A] And now it's spring, [E] and where's the rain? _
[F#m] All the wells [D] are running dry
[E] And [A] the [E] reservoirs have reached an all [D]-time low _
_ And [A] if this red light [E] ever turns
[F#m] If I can [E] make it [D] through the park
[E] I'll [A] head uptown [E] for the last [A] fair of the day
[D] _ _ [A] _ And [D] turn it down, [F#m] I pulled away
[E] I know it well, this [D] old ballet
Finding the flow, [F#m] minding the sway
[A] Catching green lights [D] all the way
And _
[E] there [A] they are, _ [E] outside St.
Luke's
[F#] With their [Bm] flowers [D] and balloons
[A] All amazement [E] at the baby in [D] her [A] arms _
[D] And [E] as [A] Amsterdam [E] makes us a place
[F#m] I ask about [D] her name
[A] We all laugh when [E] he says Hope
And [A] she says Grace
_ _ _ [D] And [F#m] then it starts, the heavens give
[E] I know it well, this [D] old ballet
Finding the flow, [F#m] minding the sway
[A] Catching green lights [D] all the way
I _ [E] brought them home _ _
[F#m] I brought them home
[D] _ _ [A] I brought them home
In [E] that sweet, [F#m] sweet rain
[A]
[D] I brought [A] them home
[E] In that sweet, [A] sweet rain
[D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
