[outro musical solo] [Verse 1] I’ve strummed a million chords, some wrong, some right Played ‘em in the shadows, played ‘em in the light Each one a story, each one a load Carried me down this old lonesome road [Pre-Chorus] The stage grows dim, the final notes descend Knowing this journey soon must end. [Chorus] The last lonesome chord, it’s callin’ my name Ain’t much left, but I’ll play it the same With a grin and a tear for the years I’ve explored I’ll sing ‘til I strike that last lonesome chord [Verse 2] The spotlight’s faded, the crowds are thin But I still hear the hum where the songs begin The guitar’s worn, but it knows my hand Like an old friend walkin’ through a weary land [Pre-Chorus] The stage grows dim, the final notes descend Knowing this journey soon must end. [Chorus] The last lonesome chord, it’s callin’ my name Ain’t much left, but I’ll play it the same With a grin and a tear for the years I’ve explored I’ll sing ‘til I strike that last lonesome chord [Bridge] Every wrinkle’s a tale, every gray hair’s a friend Every song’s a beginning, every note’s an end I’ll leave ‘em with love, not a bitter word Just the echo of a chord the world once heard [Verse 3] The melody lingers, a whispered farewell A final story, only time will tell The strings grow quiet, the music fades slow But the heart of the song will forever glow. [Outro Chorus] So tune up the strings, let the curtain be drawn The last lonesome chord will carry me on With a grin and a tear for the years I’ve explored I'll sing 'til I strike that last lonesome chord, And find my peace, beyond the final word.
