[Verse 1]
              Am             C
The stars are yesterday's confetti
         G
And it's gone
                         Am              C
I still see you standing barefoot on the jetty
         G
And it's gone
           D                F                     C
Surrounded by a thousand empties in the cold grey dawn
        Am              C         G
And the old cranes like dinosaur bones


[Chorus]
                C                    G
Well it was the saddest, the saddest thing I've ever seen
               C                  G
And it made me think of the one I love
    C                 G          G/F     Em
I remember you as you turned and walked away
               Am               C             G
When I saw the last ship on the river leave today


[Verse 2]
               Am             C
You were so capricious, so contrary
         G
And it's gone
       Am                  C
And we shared love's weird telepathy
         G
But it's gone
    D                    F             C
And soon this place will be bulldozed away
    Am       C                      G
And only the river will remember this day


[Chorus]
                C                    G
Yes, it was the saddest, the saddest thing I've ever seen
               C                  G
And it made me think of the one I love
         C                 G          G/F     Em
Well I remember you as you turned and walked away
          Am               C             G
I saw the last ship on the river leave today

[Verse 3]
               Am                      C            G
There's people waiting for the morning ferry in the rain
       Am            C          G
And we all look so defeated and drained
              D                  F           C
Oh, something flexed within my memory, and I try to hold on
         G     C
But it's gone
     G
It's gone, gone, gone


[Chorus]
                C                    G
Yes, it was the saddest, the saddest thing I've ever seen
               C                  G
And it made me think of the one I love
         C                  G       G/F   Em
Well I remember, now I know why you went away
          Am               C             G
I saw the last ship on the river leave today
          Am               C             G
I saw the last ship on the river leave today
          Am               C     G            Am C N.C.
I saw the last ship on the river leave today


[Outro to fade]
         Am C  G
And it's gone, gone
           Am C
Yeah, it's gone
G
Gone, gone, gone
          Am C       G
Yes, it's gone, it's gone
          Am C
Well it's gone
G
Gone, gone, gone
                         Am              C     G
I still see you standing barefoot on the jetty, ooh-hoo
                         Am              C
I still see you standing barefoot on the jetty
        G
And I'm gone, gone, gone
                         Am              C
I still see you standing barefoot on the jetty
        G                                   Am  C G
And I'm gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
