Kevn Kinney – Last Song Of Maddy Hope chords

[Verse]
G                           CWell the bus pulled in from Chapel Hill
AmAt 9 am my friend
Am                     DShe was waiting for me at the station desk

G                         CWell the breezes from the gulf and all the
AmStars that flew at night
Am                   DWere all the rage on the front page today

G                      CWell my name is Maddie Hope I'll put your
AmThings inside my trunk
Am                      DAcross the bridge three miles I'm a-wonderin'

G                         CWith a stack of notebooks forty high,
AmGuitar no model make
Am                     DFirst thing inside the front door lay in wait

G                         CWell she started singing songs there must have
AmBeen a thousand of them
Am                     DLike commercials for the hate and love in livin'

G                         CThe postman knocked eight times and then
AmHe walked inside the door
Am                     DFarewell he said I'll see you in a year

[Chorus]
G                    DWhat was this all about?
G                    DThis broken little house
G                  DWith a woman eighty-eight
G                    DAnd me just half her age
G                      CWell I don't know what brought me here,
Am                    DBut I feel I'll never leave
D                       GWinds,  friends and Hope

[Verse]
G                           CWhen the morning came we shared a breakfast
AmOn a makeshift stage
Am                     DIn her backyard tonight to be the day

G                         CWell her bags were packed, her notebooks stacked
AmInside the breezeway door
Am                   DWell I've lived here since 1944.

G                      CWell the sun was set inside the twilight
AmI watched the stars grow near
Am                      DIts time to go their here, their here, their here

G                         CWell I'm an open minded soul but I think
AmThis lady's kind of odd
Am                   DJust as all the ships began to land around

G                           CWell gather round freewheelin stalls
Amof T-Shirts Boots and Jeans
Am                     DMen and women young and old to hear her sing

G                     CCome sing with me for you will be the
AmOne to carry on
Am                   DFarewell my friend I'll see you in a year

[Chorus]
G                    DAnd inside the stars they climbed
G                    DFor galaxies defined
G                  DAnd all the things to sing
G                    DFor paupers and their kings
G                      CAnd all the trucks and tolls
Am                    DAnd buried souls will sing along
D                       GWith Maddie Hope

[Verse]
G                           CWell the postman knocked eight times
AmAnd left a package by the door
Am                     DInside were notebooks pens and guitar

[Chorus]
G                     DAnd a little note that read "Till then,
G                     DAnd Keep on Keepin On"
G                     DAnd a little note that read "Till then,
G                     DAnd Keep on Keepin On"
G                     DAnd a little note that read "Till then,
G                     DAnd Keep on Keepin On"
G                     DLove Maddie Hope
