Final Sale
Words & Music by Brooke Lunderville, 2005.
A serious song! Everyone should write one, but maybe one is enough. I wrote this about how I felt when someone I never got along with died. Ouch. That B+ is a B augmented, although what I actually play on the line is a walkup which works great on the banjo and sounds weird on guitar.

MP3 recording of Final Sale.

I thought when I first met you all we’d ever do is fight	Em C  Em  C
I wish I hadn’t tried so hard to prove that I was right		G  Cm  G  Em
Now that you’re gone I guess I got the last word		Em  C Em C
It isn’t worth as much as I thought				G  Cm  G  

	And I’d take it all back if I thought that you could hear	G  B+ Em G7
	But it’s too late / Final sale.					C  Cm  G  Cm G
	I know that there is a lesson for me here			G  B+ Em G7
	But I just feel alone						C  Cm  G  

I still don’t like you; I don’t think you liked anyone
You were so angry you burned everything you touched
I was waiting for indifference when that phone call finally came
Imagine my surprise to find regret

	And I’d take it all back if I thought that you could hear
	But it’s too late / Final sale.
	I know this is a lesson I should learn
	But I just feel alone
