ADear Shirley Jean I hope tDhis finds you goAod
                    A(Bass walk)  A   G#    F#   E  
I wanted to write, but didn't know if I should
SAo many year now, that I've lDost what is reAal
             A(Bass walk)    E    F#    G#  A  
But I still remember how you made me feel
From boAys home to boys home til DI was eightAeen
              A(Bass walk)  A   G#    F#   E  
Sent me to prison, they said I was mean
and as yAoung as I was I could haDndle my oAwn
                 A(Bass walk)     E    F#    G#  A  
the men that I dealt with, I left cold as stone
[Chorus]
It's the lAast night, that I'Dll see your fAace
          A(Bass walk)   A    G#     F#   E  
Daydreams of you were my sweetest place
                    D(Bass walk)   D   C#    B  A  
Times taken it's toll, but I'm alright to go
                 A(Bass walk)    E    F#       G#   A  
It's my last night and I thought you should know
[Verse]
WriAting these words don't come eDasy to Ame
                  A(Bass walk)    A    G#    F#   E  
But i've run out of time and soon i'll be free
Ayou were the only one DI ever hAad
              A(Bass walk)     E     F#     G#  A  
the only bright spot in a life that went bad
the yeAars they have passed but i gDot through them aAll
                   A(Bass walk)   A   G#    F#   E  
with a wallet sized picture of you on my wall
the wAay that you kissed me wDithout rAegret

is something my heart will never forget
[Chorus]
It's the lAast night, that I'Dll see your fAace
