Last Goodbye
(J. Buckley)
the slide bit just goes from fret 2 to 5 to 12 to 7.
But here's how Jeffrey does it when in Japan (not using a slide).
*Intro (Live & Acoustic in Japan):
D ---2---2-4-5--->5---7^5-|--7>9---9--9-----7---
B ---2---2------->5---5---|--5>7---7--8^7---7---
G ---2---2------->5-------|--5>7---7--------7---
D ---2---2------->5-------|--5>7---7--------7---
G ---XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-------|---------------------
D ---XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-------|---------------------
1st & 3rd times
D ---2---2-4-5--->5---7^5-|--5>12--7-------- 2nd time
B ---2---2------->5---5---|--5>12--7--------
G ---2---2------->5-------|--5>12--7--------
D ---2---2------->5-------|--5>12--7--------
G ---XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-------|-----------------
D ---XXXXXXXXXXXXXX-------|-----------------
then finish on.......and move into this
D ------0-|--0-- || ---0---0---0---0--|--
B ------0-|--0-- || ---0---0---0---X--|--
G ------6-|--4-- || --12--12--12--11--|--
D ------7-|--5-- || ---0---0---0---0--|--
G --------|--0-- || --12--12--12--11--|--
D --------|----- || ---0---0---0---0--|--
*Intro (Part 2):
D-----------------------------|----------------------------
B----2----2----2-------5----5-|----0----0----0-------7----7
G----2----2----2-------5----5-|----0----0----0-------7----7
D----2----2----2-------5----5-|----0----0----0-------7----7
G----2----2----2-------5----5-|----0----0----0-------7----7
D--4-X--4-X--4-X---4>7-X--7-X-|--2-X--2-X--2-X---2>9-X--9-X
then finish on the A7, G sequence
D --------|---0--------------- then into the
B --------|---0------------ Dsus/D thing as
G -----0--|---0------------ tabbed above.
D -----5--|---0--------------
G -----6--|---4---------------
D -----7--|---5--------------
*Verse:
From Dsus/D into the descending bit ("hate to see the love...")
D ---0--0--|-0----|--0-|--0-|---|---|--0---0--|-----
B ---0--0--|-0----|--0-|--X-|-0-|-0-|--0---X--|-----
G ---7--6--|-0----|--0-|-11-|-6-|-0-|-12--11--|-----
D ---9--7--|-2--4-|--5-|--0-|-7-|-5-|--0---0--|-----
G ---7--6--|-0--0-|--4-|-11-|-6-|-4-|-12--11--|-----
D ---9--7--|-2--4-|--5-|--0-|-7-|-5-|--0---0--|-----
2nd time, reverse Em (2/0/2/0) and the G (5/4/5/0).
tricky "what are they?" chords
D ----(3)--|-(3)---3-------
B ----(6)--|-(6)---6-------
G -----5---|--5----3-------
D -----3---|--3----3-------
G -----5---|--5----3-------
D -----0---|--0----3-------
For "kiss me please kiss me", back to the barre chords
D ---2-----5--|--0-----7---||----"I'd only make you cry..."
B ---2-----5--|--0-----7---||---------------|--------------
G ---2-----5--|--0-----7---||----0----------|-------------0
D ---2-----5--|--0-----7---||----5----------|-------------0
G ---2-----5--|--0-----7---||----6----------|-------------4
D ------------|------------||----7----------|-------------5
*Middle 8:
Dsus/D until:
Bm/A/G/A/Bm/A/Em/A/Bm/A/G
"Did you say no this can't happen....", where I've
-consistent F# high note which seems to be in every
chord in this section (except the last 4).
D ----0---0--|--0---X--||---2--|-0--|-0--|-0---------------
B ----7---7--|--7---7--||---0--|-1--|-5--|-0---------------
G ----7---7--|--7---7--||---0--|-2--|-5--|-0---------------
D ----0---0--|--X---0--||---2--|-2--|-0--|-0---------------
G ----7---X--|--6---0--||---0--|-2--|-5--|-4---------------
D ----0---9--|--7---5--||---2--|-X--|----|-5---------------
Then part 2 of the intro, twice, then Dsus/D, then climax
("bells of the churchtower...so hard
on her soft eyes...")
D----------------------------------------------------------
B---8---7---5---7----5---7---8---10------- each chord here
G---9---7---6---7----5---7---9---11------- is pretty much -
D---0---0---0---0----0---0---0----0------- equal to one bar
G---9---7---6---7----5---7---9---11------- of music ---
D---0---0---0---0----X---0---0----0------------------------
then the tricky "what are they?" chords, then finish up on "o-o-o-over"
D----0----0----0----0--------------------------------------
B----7----7----0----5--------------------------------------
G----7----6----7----5--------------------------------------
D----0----0----0----0--------------------------------------
G----7----7----7----5--------------------------------------
D----0----0----0----X--------------------------------------
and you're pretty much done.

| I agree with Rowley. The thing I love about Jeff Buckley is his songs are so beautiful. I mean, the beginning can start out mellow and he extends into this intense bit where he'll use all his vocal power to make the lyrics more powerful and his voice is so amazing that you don't even barely recognize the music which is also beautiful but ugh... i can't say enough good things about this man. | |

| When Jeff lived in LA he had an relationship with an older german woman, this song is about that break up. But as anyone that ever have experienced heartache will testify, it is poetry that many of us can relate to, but none of us is capable of writing. I find "Forget her" even more touching due to my own personal failures. | |

| I first listened to this song when my girlfriend at the time told me she'd cheated on me. All the words were just perfect for describing how I felt, awesome song, but always makes me damn near cry whenever I hear it | |
