 [Verse 1] 
G#m                   E                    G#m
I am not, that good anymore, and maybe I never was,
G#m                E
But I'll play my heart out for you, one more time.
G#m           E             G#m                F#               C#
For in my old age, all I can do is play for you a song from my youth.
 
[Chorus] 
G#m           E           G#m           E
So let me share my gift, with you once more,
G#m           E          F#                  G#m
Just like we had in the past, so many times before.

   G#m     E      F#    x2

 [Verse 2] 
G#m               E
My hands may shake, my muscles are weak,
G#m             E          F#
I'm not strong as I used to be.
G#m                       E
But still I will play for you, and leave you with a song,
G#m                F#                 C#
For when you have music you're never alone.

[Chorus] 
G#m     E             G#m           E
Let me share my gift, with you once more
G#m          E           F#
Just like we had in the past, so many times before
G#m           E      G#m             E
The song of redemption is all that I am,
G#m      E           F#                 G#m
For in the end, the music is all that I have.

[Bridge] 
G#m                 E          F#
And though it feels incomplete, the deadline has come for me.
G#m              E      F#
I must present to you, My 'masterpiece'...
G#m                   E           F#
For time is short in my condition, the song of redemption
G#m       C#  E     F#          G#m
Will be the final composition, from this tired musician.

G#m          F#  (x3

[Bridge 2] 
E           F#   G#m     F#    E           F#     G#m    F#    E
Please give me your attention and I will remedy, this silent tension
E              F#       G#m    F#
And I hope that you will remember,
E             F#  G#m         F#              E
I hope the memories will leave a lasting impression
E            G#m       B   E        F#
Of me, when I'm gone. Gone. After I am gone.

G#m           D#m        E              F#m
I don't need to concentrate, I can close my eyes.
G#m                       D#m
And though you'll hear this song but once,
E                F#m
I've rehearsed it, a thousand times.

F#m                            G#m
But what will you say, after I'm done?
F#m                                       G#m
After I've attempted to play the song of redemption.
F#m                             G#m
And what will you say, after I'm gone?
F#m                                     G#m (x3)        F#
After I've attempted to play the song of redemption.
