Last Song Of Maddy Hope

G C Well the bus pulled in from Chapel Hill Am At 9 am my friend Am D She was waiting for me at the station desk G C Well the breezes from the gulf and all the Am Stars that flew at night Am D Were all the rage on the front page today G C Well my name is Maddie Hope I'll put your Am Things inside my trunk Am D Across the bridge three miles I'm a-wonderin' G C With a stack of notebooks forty high, Am Guitar no model make Am D First thing inside the front door lay in wait G C Well she started singing songs there must have Am Been a thousand of them Am D Like commercials for the hate and love in livin' G C The postman knocked eight times and then Am He walked inside the door Am D Farewell he said I'll see you in a year G D What was this all about? G D This broken little house G D With a woman eighty-eight G D And me just half her age G C Well I don't know what brought me here, Am D But I feel I'll never leave D G Winds, friends and Hope G C When the morning came we shared a breakfast Am On a makeshift stage Am D In her backyard tonight to be the day G C Well her bags were packed, her notebooks stacked Am Inside the breezeway door Am D Well I've lived here since 1944. G C Well the sun was set inside the twilight Am I watched the stars grow near Am D Its time to go their here, their here, their here G C Well I'm an open minded soul but I think Am This lady's kind of odd Am D Just as all the ships began to land around G C Well gather round freewheelin stalls Am of T-Shirts Boots and Jeans Am D Men and women young and old to hear her sing G C Come sing with me for you will be the Am One to carry on Am D Farewell my friend I'll see you in a year G D And inside the stars they climbed G D For galaxies defined G D And all the things to sing G D For paupers and their kings G C And all the trucks and tolls Am D And buried souls will sing along D G With Maddie Hope G C Well the postman knocked eight times Am And left a package by the door Am D Inside were notebooks pens and guitar G D And a little note that read "Till then, G D And Keep on Keepin On" G D And a little note that read "Till then, G D And Keep on Keepin On" G D And a little note that read "Till then, G D And Keep on Keepin On" G D Love Maddie Hope
