 |  | The Band lyrics 
 Last of the Blacksmiths lyrics
 
 (The | means a new measure and the / means the bass note on the current chord.)
 
 |Eb |C |Eb |C |
 
 Eb                    |G-/Bb                 |
 Who robbed the cradle, who robbed the grave
 C                 |F-                 |
 Who's the one that asked to be saved
 Bb / / Bo7    |C- Db       |Ab /Gb /Gb /F |
 No, wo-wo-wo no answer came
 Eb                    |G-/Bb               |
 I moved to the country  that cried of shame
 C                 |F-             |
 I left my home and found a name
 Bb / / Bo7    |C- Db            |Ab /Gb /Gb /F |
 No, wo-wo-wo nobody could explain
 
 C-/G /C   /Eb    /G       |Ab     /   /Bb / Ab |
 Have mercy, cried the blacksmith
 C-/G /C               /Eb     /G   |Ab   /  /Bb / Ab |
 How're you gonna replace human hands
 C-/G /C    /Eb     /G      |Ab     /   /Bb / Ab |
 Found guilty, said the judge
 C-/G    /C  /Eb   /G   |Ab   |Ab(7) ||Eb |C |Eb |C ||
 For not being in demand
 
 verse:
 Frozen fingers at the keyboard
 Could this be the big reward
 No, no answer came
 Brought up everybody to see for themselves
 They wouldn't believe it from no one else
 No, nobody could explain
 
 chorus:
 Dead tongue said the poet
 To the daughter of burlesque
 Cocteau, Van Gogh and Geronimo
 C-/G /C     /Eb     /G      |Ab    |Ab(7) ||Eb |C |Eb |C ||
 They used up what was left
 
 |Bb(7) |/ |/ |/ |Bb(7) |/ |/ |/ / / Bo7 |
 
 chorus:
 Cry wolf, said the martyr
 I don't believe I'm alive
 You're the hero, said the mute
 C-/G /C         /Eb      /G |Ab    |Ab(7) ||Eb |C |Eb |C ||
 And you're bound to sur-vive
 
 outro: |F7 |Bb7 |Eb(7) |/ |/ |/ |/  to fade
