[Intro - Capo 2 - do use capo as key to help play the riff]
[Intro Riff - No drums]
[G] [G] [G] [G] keyboard riff to bring drums in -2 snares on

[G] [G] [Em] [C] - [G] [G] [Em] [C] 
[D]
 
[Verse - No strums - finger picked arps - see notes - 
or one rake for each chord at start and very light strums after that]

So you're in [G] love with some one else
Someone who [Em] burns with in your soul
And it [C] looks like I [D] am the last to 
[G] know

I hear you've 
[G]never felt so alive
So much de [Em] sire beyond control
And as [C] usual I [D] am the last to 
[G] know
 
[Chorus - Imply riff by playing chords with this rhythm x X x XX]
The last to [Em7] know how you're [C/G] feeling
The last to [G] know where you [Em7] are
The last to [C] know if you're [Am] happy now (play chords straighter now)
Or if he's [Bm] treating you like I [Bm] treated you
Or if he's [C] cruel [D] I'll be the last to 
[G] know (riff)
 
[Verse * = snare]
We *spent *summers [G] out beyond the bay
And you said these [Em] are such perfect days
But if the [C] bomb drops baby I [D] want to be 
the last to [G] know
 
But now you're 
[G]living up behind the hill
And though we [Em] share the same city and feel the same sun
When your win [C] winter comes [D]  I'll be the last to [G] know
 
[Chorus 2]
Always the last to [Em7] know how you're [C/G] feeling
The last to [G] know where [Em7] you are
The last to [C] know if you're [Am] happy now
Or if he's 
 
[Bridge]
[Bm] pleaded with you like I [Bm] pleaded with you 
if you [C] go Ohoh ....Don't [D] let me be the last to 
[C] know .....Don't [D] let me be the laaaaa
[D] aaaaaaaaaast (snare)to [G] know (stop drums)

[Riff]
[G] x 2

[Middle Eight] (drums back)
[Am] Creations gone [D]  crazy (that ain't so bad [Am] ) 
TV's Gone [G]  Mad (that ain't so crazy)
[Am] Now you're the only sane thing that I [D] have
 
[Instrumental - Play B string-3-1-0 over 
all with some notes on G string for G chords]

[G] [G] [G] [G]
[D] [D] 
 
[Chorus 3] (drums stop)
Always the last to (drums back in)
[Em7] know how you're [C/G] feeling
The last to [G] know where [Em/7] you are
The last to [C] know if you're [Am] happy now
Or if he's [Bm] cheated on you like I [Bm] cheated on you
 
[Outro]
Oh oh  (just bass drum - just arpeggios on guitar)
[C] ohohh
[D] You were the last to [C] know
[D] You were the last to [C] know .. Don't (drums back in)
[D] let me be the (this is the half bar)

[Verse 1]
Do you remember
The 21st night of September?
Love was changin' the minds of pretenders
While chasin' the clouds away
Our hearts were ringin'
In the key that our souls were singin'
As we danced in the night, remember
How the stars stole the night away, oh, yeah
Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]
Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya, dancin' in September
Ba-dee-ya, never was a cloudy day
Ba-du-da, ba-du-da, ba-du-da, ba-du
Ba-du-da, ba-du, ba-du-da, ba-du
Ba-du-da, ba-du, ba-du-da

[Verse 2]
My thoughts are with you
Holdin' hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love, remember
How we knew love was here to stay
Now December
Found the love that we shared in September
Only blue talk and love, remember
The true love we share today
Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]
Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya, dancin' in September
Ba-dee-ya, never was a cloudy day
There was a
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), dancin' in September
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), golden dreams were shiny days

[Verse 3]
The bell was ringin', oh, oh
Our souls were singin'
Do you remember never a cloudy day? Yow

[Chorus]
There was a
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), dancin' in September
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), never was a cloudy day
And we'll say
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), say, do you remember?
Ba-dee-ya (dee-ya, dee-ya), dancin' in September
Ba-dee-ya (dee ya, dee-ya), golden dreams were shiny days
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya!
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya
Ba-dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya, dee-ya!
