*** Here is Stark Sands along with Punch Bros. with their version of The 
 Last Thing on My Mind, off the Inside Llewyn Davis: Original Soundtrack 
 Recording album. The rhythm of the chords in the intro is similar to the 
 rest of the song, and the number of times I placed the chords in the tab 
 is not necessarily how he plays it, they are just there to keep time. 
 Enjoy this great song from the amazing Inside Llewyn Davis Soundtrack.***

A                 D            A 
It's a lesson too late for the learning 
D       A     E       A 
Made of sand, made of sand 
                  D              A 
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin' 
D       A     E       A 
In your hand, in your hand 

        E 
Are you goin' away 
        D          A 
With no word of farewell 
           D        A            E     E7 
Will there be not a trace left behind 
       A                  D 
Well I could've loved you better 
         A 
I didn't mean to be unkind 
    E                                  A 
You know that was the last thing on my mind 

(Intro)  

A                    D          A 
You've got reasons a'plenty for goin' 
D      A     E      A 
This I know, this I know 
                        D        A 
For the weeds have been steadily growin' 
D            A   E            A 
Please don't go, please don't go 

        E 
Are you goin' away 
        D          A 
With no word of farewell 
           D        A            E     E7 
Will there be not a trace left behind 
       A                  D 
Well I could've loved you better 
         A 
I didn't mean to be unkind 
    E                                  A 
You know that was the last thing on my mind 

(Intro x2) 

A              D          A 
As I lie in my bed in the mornin' 
D       A    E       A  
Without you, without you 
                D          A 
Each song in my breast dies of boredom 
D       A    E       A 
Without you, without you 
  
        E 
Are you goin' away 
        D          A 
With no word of farewell 
           D        A            E     E7 
Will there be not a trace left behind 
       A                  D 
Well I could've loved you better 
         A 
I didn't mean to be unkind 
    E                                  A 
You know that was the last thing on my mind 
E                              A 
And that was the last thing on my mind
