Last Picturehouse
Key: CEnglish
Verse
CBorn to entertain us back in 1F925
So beauFtiful and strong enough to bring their Gdreams alive
Always Cthought it would last forever
And be the Amgreatest thing they'd ever seen
With a Fheart like Judy Garland
And a the Gsoul of Jimmy Dean
And Dmwhile the world was growing
He was Gso gone with the wind
That Cthe future they were building
Didn't Amhave a room for him
And now the Dmbuildings scrape the skyline
And the Gstars no longer shine
Cause noD(dim)thing lasts foFrever in the changing Gtimes
Chorus
Oh so Clong and fare Fthee well
A thouDmsand stories he could Ctell
Brick Amby brick they pulled him Dmdown
The Flast Fmpicture house in town C
Verse
The Ccrowds grew smaller though the years
While Amthe candy girls left town
The proFjector slowly gathered dust
While Gthe house came tumbling down
And at the fiDmnal curtain calling
He knew a Ggolden age had passed
Cause the Clights had finally fallen
And the dreams they didn't Amlast
Cause now the Dmbuildings scrape the skyline
And the stars no longer Gshine
Cause noD(dim)thing lasts foFrever in the Gchanging times
Chorus
Oh so Clong and fare thee Dmwell
A thouFsand stories he could Ctell
Brick Amby brick they pulled him Dmdown
FThe last Fmpicture house in Ctown
Bridge
Gene KelFly went singing for the Clast time in the rain
And one Fmore kiss with Betty Davies Cbefore the final frame
And as the Dmlights inside the ticket box go fading Amaway
It was the last Dmmovie the picture house would Gplay G7
Chorus
Oh Cso long and fare Fthee well
A Gthousand stories he could Ctell
But Ambrick by brick they pulled him Dmdown
The Flast picture Fmhouse in Ctown
