My Last Name
View chords used in this chart
This one is actually played on a ganjo (guitar banjo), some of the chords
are played as part of a bass run. It's still a bit rough and I'd welcome any
revisions or changes
My Last Name
Keith Urban & Vernon Rust
E A
I can feel your goodbye comin
B E
Like a storm up from the South
E A
The rain'll splatter at the back door
B C#m
The wind'll whistle round the house
E C#m
so it's you and Howie Johnson
B E B C#m
somebody told me at the store
F#m
I guess I'd better get used
C#m B
to the idea of you
C#m E
Not around anymore
CHORUS
E B C#m
And I'm doin my best to prepare for the worst
A E B D (C# B -bass note run down)
And I'd better get used to the hunger and thirst
A
I gotta find me a potion
B C#m B A
To take for the pai - ai - ain
F#m B
And all you've got to lose
C#m
Is my last name
I know he's cute and he's got money
I ain't no fancy Dan
In a way it's sad and kinda funny
You'll be OK and I'll be damned
So I best be gettin ready
For the bitter nights alone
Sleeping on the couch
Wake up starting out
Living life on my own
Repeat Chorus
Mark Finlayson
