LAST PLANE OUT

All corrections are more than welcome. 
This version is based on a live acoustic version I have featuring Bass, Bazouki, Guitar, and Vocals. It’s a mini masterclass in song writing.
Enjoy.

This version also works well with the Album version. When I figure out how to write better tabs I’ll post all the Bazouki /12 string parts. 


The small letters are the bass notes here’s the first verse intro. It’s all variations on this groove. Just listen to how it’s played.

GG fg Bflat   F/A ab CC a#bceeff# G  



G
Greetings from Sodom
  f      g    Bflat                 F/A        ( either x03211 or x07565 )
How we wish you were here
a b      C
     The weather's getting warmer
                                      a#bceeff# G     G 
Now that the trees are all cleared

There's no time for a conscience

And we recognize no crime

Yeah we got dogs and Valvoline

It's a pretty damn good time

Chorus:
G/B        Cm       Bflat   F
Men of reason, not of rhyme

A7/D#           Dm          Eflat          Bflat
Keep the spoils and share your crime

Rpt:
Goodman, Badman, lost without

A hope for passage on the last plane out




Here are the shapes for the chorus:

Bflat      653333


There was one repressed do-gooder
And a few who still believed
Yes I think there were five good men here yesterday
But they were asked to leave
So we've kept the good old vices
And laboured to invent a few
With cake in vulgar surplus
We can have it and eat it, too

Chorus

Men of reason, hide your face
Walking backwards, plays his ace
Goodman, Badman, lost without
A hope for passage on the last plane out 

After the solo : 

G

           Dm7                     C
Here's a concept you can't dance to
     G           F        G
An idea you cannot hum
         Dm7               Am7
There may not be an empty seat
         F                                  
When all is said and done
 ( gtr break in G)

      Dm7                     C
I'm not the guy who sings the hymns
      G             F            G
No bleeding heart to mend
         Dm7                        Am
But I like the part where Icarus
F
Hijacks the little red hen



G                         Cm
Someone said the Big Man
            Bflat          F/A  ( x07565 )   
May be joining us soon
       C
But I never was the type to hang
                c   e   f   f#      G
With the harbingers of doom
             G            Cm
And this party is addictive
          Bflat                  Am
Self-destructive, no doubt
       F                                  Bflat                          
So I hope that someone saves a seat for me
                            G
On the last plane out

Chorus
