Last Man On Earth Chords & Lyrics - Mountain Goats

Intro: [G] [Bm] [Am7] [C] X2

[G] Just when the [Bm]last of the smoke subs[C]ides you'll see my f[G]ingers
[G] Hoisting my [Bm]body up at[Am7]op the charred deb[D]ris
[G] Who is that [Bm]creature with the [Em]crazed look in his [Bm]eyes?
[C] Don't even [G]question your senses
[C]You can be sure that's [D]me
When all the [Em]pretenders to your [G]hand
lie [C]dead across the [D]land,

I'll be the [G]last [Bm]man on e[C]arth [D]
I'll be the [G]last [Bm]man on e[C]arth [D]
I'll be the [G]last [Bm]man on e[C]arth [D]
Crawling a[G]round,[D] down on the g[G]round

[G] When the Hail [Bm]Marys you've been [C]saying lose their [G]savor
[G] Just when your [Bm]dungeon walls feel l[Am7]ike they're closing [D]in
[G] Whose are those [Bm]bloody knuckles [Em]reaching down to g[Bm]rab you
[C] Just as the [G]last of the light overh[C]ead is growing d[D]im?
It was [Em]their love you wanted, not [G]mine
But when they de[C]ny your name three [D]times

I'll be the [G]last [Bm]man on e[C]arth [D]
I'll be the [G]last [Bm]man on e[C]arth [D]
I'll be the [G]last [Bm]man on e[C]arth [D]
Crawling a[G]round,[D] down on the g[G]round

[Em] And I will t[D]hrow you across my s[G]houlders
[Em] And I will b[D]leed and I will d[G]rool
[Em] And the c[D]ameras will slow [C]pan across my [G]face
[Em] And I will [F]try to say something [D]cool

[G] Just as the [Bm]hoardes of thirsting [C]demons close ar[G]ound us
[G] Raising their [Bm]axes, howling like [Am7]monkeys in the [D]sun
[G] Who will that [Bm]guy be holding [Em]you so high ab[Bm]ove them?
[C] You know and I[G] know, everyone [C]knows it, I'm the [D]one
I may have [Em]failed you once bef[G]ore
But this r[C]ight here, this means [D]war

I'll be the [G]last [Bm]man on e[C]arth [D]
I'll be the [G]last [Bm]man on e[C]arth [D]
I'll be the [G]last [Bm]man on e[C]arth [D]
Crawling a[G]round,[D] down on the g[G]round
