Lyrics

When the (Cm)last ea gle flies

o ver the last

crumb ling moun tain,

and the (Cm)last li on roars,

at the (Abmaj7)last

dus ty foun tain.

In the (Cm)sha dow of the (Ebsus2)for est

though she (Abmaj7)may be old and (Ebsus2)worn,

they will (Fm7)stare un be (Ebsus2)liev ing

at the (Abmaj7)last u ni corn.

When the (Cm)first breath of win ter

through the (Abmaj7)flow ers is ic ing,

and you (Cm)look to the north

and a (Abmaj7)pale moon is ris ing,

and it (Cm)seems like all is (Ebsus2)dy ing,

and would (Abmaj7)leave the world to (Ebsus2)mourn,

in the (Fm7)dis tance hear the (Ebsus2)laugh ter

of the (Abmaj7)last u ni corn.

(Bb)I’m a (Eb)live,

I’m a (Ab)live.

(Bb)When the (Cm)last moon is cast

o ver the last

star of morn ing,

and the (Cm)fu ture has passed with out e ven a last

des p’rate warn ing,

then (Cm)look in to the (Ebsus2)sky where through the (Abmaj7)clouds a path is (Ebsus2)torn,

look and (Fm7)see her how she (Ebsus2)spar kles,

it’s the (Abmaj7)last u ni corn.

(Bb)I’m a (Eb)live,

I’m a (Ab)live.

About “The Last Unicorn

Is the engraved accompaniment score for "The Last Unicorn" suitable for a pianist?
Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key Ab, real chord symbols), engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML. A staff pianist or accompanist can read this directly from the screen or printed PDF and play the backing while you sing the melody.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "The Last Unicorn" by America in?
The backing track is in Ab at 98 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "The Last Unicorn" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "The Last Unicorn"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "The Last Unicorn", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "The Last Unicorn" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "The Last Unicorn"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "The Last Unicorn"?
"The Last Unicorn" was originally performed by America. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of Ab, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "The Last Unicorn" with the lead melody removed. Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
Is this the same notation a piano book would show?
Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
