(Intro)

Cm Ab Bb

When the last eagle flies over the last crumbling mountain

Cm Ab Bb

And the last lion roars at the last dusty fountain

Cm Gm Ab Cm7

In the shadow of the forest though she may be old and worn

Ab Cm7 Ab Bb

They will stare unbelieving at the last unicorn

Cm Ab Bb

When the first breath of winter through the flowers is icing

Cm Ab Bb

And you look to the north and a pale moon is rising

Cm Gm Ab Cm7

And it seems like all is dying and would leave the world to mourn

Ab Cm7 Ab Bb

In the distance hear the laughter of the last unicorn

Cm7 Bb Cm Gm Ab Bb

I'm alive, I'm alive

Cm Ab Bb

When the last moon is cast over the last star of morning

Cm Ab Bb

And the future has passed without even a last desperate warning

Cm Gm Ab Cm7

Then look into the sky where through the clouds a path is torn

Ab Cm7 Ab Bb

Look and see her how she sparkles, it's the last unicorn

Cm7 Bb Cm Gm Ab Bb

I'm alive, I'm alive

Cm Gm Ab Bb
