This slide part is repeated twice.
Right here the guitar comes in, and starts playing two chords over and over
again. It sounds closest to me if you use first position chords for the
intro, and the barre chords the rest of the song. The two chords at the
beginning are G and the D. Everyone knows them, but I will tab them just
to be thorough.
G D
1|--3----3-
2|--3----2-
3|--0----3-
4|--0----0-
5|--2----X-
6|--3----X-
The main bassline comes in here. It is a series of hammer -ons. On a
guitar it looks like this:
1|------------------------------------------------------
2|------------------------------------------------------
3|------------------------------------------------------
4|------------------------------------------------------
5|---0---0---0---0-0h3^×3^×3^×3-------------0h5^×5^×5^×5------
6|-2--^×2---2---2-------------0h3-0h3-0h3----------------
This bassline is repeated twice and then the guitar joins in, playing A, C,
G, and D chords to match:
A C G D

Listen to the song to pick up the strumming for this part. There is some
string muting between the strums during the A and G chords. (This is also
the progression during the chorus.)
Right before the change to the next chord progression, instead of switching
to the C chord from the A, just keep playing the A chord for two beats.
Then instead of switching from the G to the D chord, just play the G for
two beats.
Alright, here^Òs where I get a little hazy on this song, but I might as well
post what I think the song does.
Jeff changes to a different chord progression. I think that it is A, Bm,
G, E, G, A, but I am not sure. I just play the whole thing in barre
chords, so try it out and let me know what you think.
The rest of the song is a mix and match of the chord progressions above.
Just listen to it while you play.
Here are as much of the lyrics as I can understand. Jeff^Òs words kind of
blend t gether when he hits the high notes, so these are probably wrong,
but oh well.
This is our last goodbye,
I hate to see the love between us die.
But it^Òs over.
Just do this and then I^Òll go,
You gave me more to live for,
more than you^Òll ever know.
This is our last goodbye.
Must I dream and always see your face?
Why can^Òt we overcome this and more?
Baby, maybe it^Òs just because I didn^Òt know you at all.
Kiss me, please kiss me
Kiss me out of desire,
baby, no consolation.
Oh you know what makes me so angry,
Is that I know that in time,
I^Òll only make you cry
This is our last goodbye.
Did you say No, this can^Òt happen to me?
Did you wait for the phone to call? (?)
Is there a voice occurin^Ò in the back of your mind,
Saying baby, please?
I didn^Òt know him at all,
I didn^Òt know him at all,
I didn^Òt know him^Å
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JEFF BUCKLEY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
