(Capo 3: in tune with original recording by America)
(Capo 1: in tune with Kenny Loggins version)
(Play soft and melancholy)
[Verse 1]
When the Amlast eagle flies over the Flast crumbling Gmountain
And the Amlast lion roars at the Flast dusty Gfountain
In the Amshadow of the Emforest, though she Fmay be old and Cworn
They will Fstare unbelCieving
F   GN.C
At the last unicorn
[Verse 2]
When the Amfirst breath of winter through the Fflowers is Gicing
And you Amlook to the north and a Fpale moon is Grising
And it Amseems like all is Emdying and would Fleave the world to Cmourn
In the Fdistance hear the Claughter
Of the Flast uniGcorn
I'm alCivAme
I'm alGiveAm  Em  F  G  
[Verse 3]
When the Amlast moon is cast over the Flast star of Gmorning
And the Amfuture has passed without even a Flast desperate Gwarning
Then Amlook into the Emsky where through the Fclouds a path is Cformed
Look and Fsee her how she Csparkles
It's the Flast uniGcorn
I'm aCliveAm  
I'm aGliveC  Am7  
I'm aGliveAm  Em  F  G  
Am Em F G

Formed by sons of US Air Force personnel in London, the trio created a string of hit albums and singles. While the song "The Last Unicorn" doesn't have specific lyrical information provided, given the band's characteristic sound and the evocative title, it likely paints a picture of mythical beauty and perhaps a touch of melancholy or wonder. It plays like a journey into a fantastical world, perhaps with a sense of longing for something rare and magical.
