The Last Waltz

The Band

The Band was an influential Canadian-American rock and roll group of the 1960s and '70s, formed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Band included Robbie Robertson (guitar, piano); Richard Manuel (piano, harmonica, drums, saxophone, organ); Garth Hudson (organ, piano, clavinet, accordion, synthesizer, saxophone); Rick Danko (bass guitar, violin, trombone), and Levon Helm (drums, mandolin, guitar, bass guitar).  

A C#m D A
I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half past dead;
C#m D A
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
C#m D A
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
C#m D A
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said.


Chorus:

A E D A E D
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;
A E D A D
Take a load off Fanny, And you put the load right on me.

A E D A D


I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide;
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side.
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown."
She said, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around."

(Chorus)

Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day.
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee
company?"

(Chorus)

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog."
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."

(Chorus)

Catch a Cannonball, now, to take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time.
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one.
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.

(Chorus)

The Weight

Am      C
Virgil Caine is the name
       F                       Am
And I served on the Danville train
  C               Am
'Till Stoneman's cavalry came
     F                   Am
And tore up the tracks again
F                 C
In the winter of sixty five
         Am           F
We were hungry, just barely alive
    Am             F
By May the tenth, Richmond had fell
        C        D             G    G7
It's a time I remember, oh so well


     C            F             C
The night they drove old Dixie down
         Am
And the bells were ringing
     C           F              C
The night they drove old Dixie down
         Am
And the people were singing
            C                   Am      D
They went, "Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na,
            F
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na.


Am                     C
Back with my wife in Tennessee
     F                     Am
When one day she called to me
  C              Am
"Virgil, quick, come see,
       F              Am
There goes Robert E. Lee!"
F                   C
Now, I don't mind chopping wood
             Am           F
And I don't care if the money's no good
     Am                          F
You take what you need and you leave the rest
          C                 D              G    G7
But they should never have taken the very best


     C            F             C
The night they drove old Dixie down
         Am
And the bells were ringing
     C           F              C
The night they drove old Dixie down
         Am
And the people were singing
            C                   Am      D
They went, "Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na,
            F
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na.


Am                C
Like my father before me
        F        Am
I will work the land
     C                Am
And like my brother above me
     F             Am
Who took a rebel stand
        F               C
He was just eighteen, proud and brave
       Am              F
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
    Am                F
I swear by the mud below my feet
            C                D
You can't raise a Caine back up
                G   G7
When he's in defeat


     C            F             C
The night they drove old Dixie down
         Am
And the bells were ringing
     C           F              C
The night they drove old Dixie down
         Am
And the people were singing
            C                   Am      D
They went, "Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na,
            F
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na.

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

Theme From The Last Waltz

A                               D
When I get off of this mountain, you know where I want to go?
A                 D                         E
Straight down the Mississippi river, to the Gulf of Mexico
   A                               D
To Lake Charles, Louisiana, little Bessie, girl that I once knew
A                   D                      E 
She told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could do

A
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
D
If I spring a leak she mends me
E
I don't have to speak, she defends me
  F#m                   G
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

A                                   D
Good luck had just stung me, to the race track I did go
A          D                      E
She bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to show
    A                        D
The odds were in my favor, I had 'em five to one
A                D                          E
When that nag to win came around the track, sure enough we had won

A
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
D
If I spring a leak she mends me
E
I don't have to speak, she defends me
  F#m                   G
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

A                                   D
I took up all of my winnings, and I gave my little Bessie half
A                      D                    E
And she tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laugh
A                                              D
Now there's one thing in the whole wide world, I sure do like to see
A                      D                             E
That's how that little sweet thing of mine, dips her doughnut in my tea

A
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
D
If I spring a leak she mends me
E
I don't have to speak, she defends me
  F#m                   G
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

A                                                 D
Now me and my mate were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the box
A                           D                   E
She said, "I can't take the way he sings, but I love to hear him talk"
A                                           D
Now that just gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feet
A                D                     E
And I swore as I took another pull, my Bessie can t be beat 

A
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
D
If I spring a leak she mends me
E
I don't have to speak, she defends me
  F#m                   G
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

              A                              D
Now there's a flood out in California and up north it's freezing cold
A               D               E
And this living off the road is getting pretty old
     A                               D
So I guess I'll call up my big mama, tell her I'll be rolling in
        A                    D
But you know, deep down, I'm kind of tempted 
   E
To go and see my Bessie again.

A
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
D
If I spring a leak she mends me
E
I don't have to speak, she defends me
  F#m                   G
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

Up On Cripple Creek

E
Ten years ago on a cold dark night
          B                         Am        E
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light
E
There were few at the scene and they all did agree
	 B                    Am       E
That the man who ran looked a lot like me.
E
The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
	    B                   Am                E
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die."
E
I said not a word though it meant my life,
      B                      Am            E
I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife.


Am              E     Am              E
She walks these hills in a long black veil.
Am              E   Am                   E
She visits my grave when the night winds wail.


E                     Am     E     E      B         Am
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees; nobody knows but me.

E
The scaffold was high and eternity near
    B 			   Am	      E
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
E
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
     B                   Am            E
In a long black veil she cries over my bones.
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave where the night winds wail.

Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees; nobody knows but me.

The Weight intro

&quot;The Weight&quot; is a 1968 song by The Band. The song appears originally on The Band's first album, Music from Big Pink.  &quot;The Weight&quot; is one of the group's best known songs and among the most popular songs of the late 1960s counterculture. However, the song was not a significant mainstream hit for The Band in the US, peaking at only #63. The Band's record fared much better in Canada and the UK 

LONG BLACK VEIL  (Marijohn Wilkin/Danny Dill)   original: Lefty Frizzell (1959) - Columbia &gt; Saga song inspired by true facts: the murder of a New Jersey priest and the confusing story of a veiled woman visiting Rudolph Valentino's grave with fresh flowers every day. In the song a man is convicted for murdering his best friend. He had an alibi but couldn't produce it in court: while the killing took place the widow shared his bed.

&quot;The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down&quot; is a song written by Canadian musician Robbie Robertson, first recorded by The Band in 1969 and released on their self-titled second album.  The lyrics tell of the last days of the American Civil War and its aftermath. Confederate soldier Virgil Caine &quot;served on the Danville train,&quot; the main supply line into the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia is holding the line at the Siege of Petersburg. As part of the offensive campaign, Union Army General George Stoneman's forces &quot;tore up the track again&quot;.

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time
