The (G)last time I saw Par is, her heart was warm and (D7)gay, I heard the laugh ter of her heart in ev ’ry street ca (G)fé.

The last time I saw Par is, her trees were dressed for (D7)spring, and lov ers walked be neath those trees, and birds found songs to (G)sing.

I (Em7)dodged the (A7)same old (D)tax i cabs that (Em7)I had (A7)dodged for (D)years;

the (F#m7)cho rus (B7)of their (E)squeak y horns was (Am7)mu sic to my (D7)ears.

No (Am7)mat ter how they (Dm6)change (E7)her, I’ll re (Am7)mem ber her
