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”

Why does the accompaniment for "The Last Unicorn" show falling notes?
Falling Notes makes each chord visual — colored notes drop onto the keyboard so you can FEEL the rhythm of the backing before each entry. Singers find it easier to lock in with the piano's groove when they see the chord notes land instead of just hearing them.
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 — this is the piano accompaniment for The Last Unicorn by America, with the chord notes falling visually so you can see exactly when each chord lands. Original key is Ab; transpose live to fit your voice.
How is this different from the bar-sheet accompaniment?
Same audio backing — different visualization. Falling notes show each chord note dropping in real time (like Synthesia), which makes the chord rhythm easier to feel. Use whichever view helps you stay on the beat.
