The last unicorn (1982) (midi)

Am F G

1. When the last eagle flies over the last crumbling mountain,

Am F G

and the last lion roars at the last dusty fountain.

Am G F G

In the shadow of the forest though she may be old and worn,

Dm Em Dm G

they will stare unbelieving at the last unicorn.

Am F G

2. When the first breath of winter through the flowers is icing,

Am F G

and you look to the north and a pale moon is rising.

Am G F G

And it seems like all is dying and would leave the world to mourn,

Dm Em Dm G

in the distance hear the laughter of the last unicorn.

C - Am Dm - Am - G - F - G

I'm ali.…...ve, I'm ali…....ve !

Am F G

3. When the last moon is cast over the last star of morning,

Am F G

and the future has passed without even a last desperate warning.

Am G F G

Then look into the sky where through the clouds a path is torn,

Dm Em Dm G

look and see her how she sparkles, it's the last unicorn.

C - Am Dm - Am - G - F - G Am - G - F - G

I'm ali….....ve, I'm ali……..ve !
